On this matchday, the men's and women's teams of The National Yu team took a break from the first singles, in which Shi Yuqi did not play in the first two rounds of the group stage, preparing for the subsequent knockout rounds. More than a week ago, in the Sudirman Cup quarterfinals, China played against Denmark, and Chen Yufei reversed Mia in 3 sets to score a key point. However, in this you cup group stage match, both the Chinese and Danish teams "snow hidden" a single. He Bingjiao and Wang Zhiyi, who were full-time in the group stage, won this game in a 3-set reversal.
In terms of doubles, the men's team continued to arrange the rhythm of the combination, and the two pairs discharged in this game were both strong: He Jiting/Zhou Haodongsu Cup final won the "opening red" for the team, and Liu Cheng/Wang Yilu was the champion combination of the 2017 National Games. However, the latter admitted that he had not played in international competitions together for a long time, "The temporary partners will be more unfamiliar, and I hope that one game is better than the other." The women's team "Fan Chen" combination finally fit, and Huang Dongping's female doubles partner before the main attack on mixed doubles was Li Wenmei, and tacit understanding was not a problem.
According to the schedule, Guoyu will face the last group match opponent of the Soup Cup, India, at 2:30 p.m. Beijing time on the 14th, and the winner will advance to the knockout round.
