The 2024 Super 500 Thailand Open will be contested on its first day. The organizing committee announced the list of retirements and the latest draw results, and a total of 3 players from the national feather team withdrew, namely Men's Singles Li Shifeng and Men's Doubles Ren Xiangyu/He Jiting. Because the Tang You Cup has just ended, the national feather sent a remnant formation in this Thailand competition, and Shi Yuqi, Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang and others did not play.
In men's singles, the national feather signing luck is not good, except for Zhao Junpeng who drew the qualifiers, Lei Lanxi and Lu Guangzu are facing strong opponents, especially Lei Lanxi directly challenged Malaysia's first brother Li Zijia in the first round, I don't know if Lei Lanxi can withstand Li Zijia's violent killing? Lu Guangzu's opponent is Thai veteran Wang Gaolun.
Lu Guangzu and Lei Lanxi are both in the same zone, which means that the two may meet in the quarterfinals. Although Chiu's opponents in the first round are qualifiers, he will face the winner of the second round between top seed Antonsen of Denmark and Hong Kong veteran Ng Ka Long. Whether it is Antonsen or Wu Jialang, they are extremely testing Zhao Junpeng's hard power.
In women's singles, Han Yue is the top seed in this tournament, and her first-round opponent is Malvica, and she has a good hope of qualifying. The quarterfinals are expected to meet with another Chinese female player, Zhang Yiman, but Zhang Yiman must first pass the South Korean player Shen Youzhen. Wang Zhiyi's opponents are Huang Youxun and Gao Fangjie, who faced Samia in the first round. As far as the women's singles players are concerned, Han Yue and Wang Zhiyi of the national feather are expected to meet in the final.
In Men's Doubles, with the retirement of Ren Xiangyu/He Jiting, the two Men's Doubles pairs are both young players, namely Chen Baiyang/Liu Yi and Xie Haonan/Zeng Weihan. Chen Boyang/Liu Yi will face qualifiers, while Hsieh Haonan/Zeng Weihan will face Tanado/Thorton in the first round. In this tournament, India's Heita combination, Indonesia's Scud combination, and Ahsan/Hendra combination will all participate, so the two pairs of national players have a good opportunity to practice.
Compared with the younger generation of men's doubles, the women's doubles is an old man with a new one, with Li Yijing/Luo Xumin and Keng Shuliang/Zhang Chi playing. Li Yijing/Luo Xumin enjoyed a bye, while Keng Shuliang/Zhang Chi challenged Palak/Huda. As the hosts, the Zonla pair should be the favourite contenders for the Women's Doubles title in Thailand.
Guoyu fielded three new pairs in the Mixed Doubles, namely Guo Xinwa/Chen Fanghui, Cheng Xing/Li Qian and Zhou Zhihong/Yang Jiayi. Interestingly, all three mixed doubles pairs are placed in the same quarter, meaning that only one Chinese pair will advance to the semi-finals, and the old pair of Chen Fanghui and Cheng Xing will play a "derby" in the second round with their new partners. Cheng Xing/Li Qian in the first round of Olexi/Kantemere, Zhou Zhihong/Yang Jiayi faced Wu Xuanyi/Yang Zhuyun.
