On October 27, Beijing time, the 28th Uber Cup ended in Aarhus, Denmark, and the Chinese team won the championship for the 15th time in the history of the Japanese team in the final 3-1. This is also the Chinese team following the 2016 Kunshan You Cup, after 5 years to regain the You Cup. In the 2016 lineup, only Chen Qingchen is still the main player in the team. Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao and other new generation cores of the national women's line, after the baptism of the failure of the last Bangkok Yu Cup, as well as the tempering of many competitions such as the Tokyo Olympic Games, have grown up to usher in their own era. At present, the main force of the Chinese team's women's line is mostly under the age of 25, and the national women's line can continue to dominate the world in the next seven or eight years.
Bangkok's defeat is rooted in the women's singles
Looking back at the 2016 Kunshan Uber Cup Chinese team lineup, it will really make people feel like they are in a trance. At that time, Guoyu's main task was to prepare for the Rio Olympics, but 19-year-old Chen Qingchen had been listed as a key training target by head coach Li Yongbo, and Tang Yuanwei was a second-double. At that time, the first two rounds of the group stage were paired with veteran Yu Yang and Tang Yuanwei, starting from the third game of the group stage, Chen Qingchen and Tang Yuanwei were matched, when the third round of the group stage of the national feather won 5-0 against Denmark Chen Qingchen / Tang Yuanwei and won. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, they did not get a chance to play because the national feathers were all 3-0 sweeps of the opponent. In the final China-Korea final, Chen Qingchen/ Tang Yuanwei defeated Zhang Yina/ Li Shaoxi 2-0 to help the Chinese team seal the victory.
In the 2018 Bangkok Yu Cup National Feather Semifinals, they unexpectedly lost 2-3 to Thailand, mainly the women's singles players lost. At that time, the national women's singles was not picked up, a number of veterans and mesozoic players retired, and Although London Olympic champion Li Xuerui persevered, she became the party who lost the fifth women's singles at that time. In that game to Thailand, our doubles were full of 2 points, and the 2017 Glasgow World Championships women's doubles champions Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan were the mainstay of china's doubles. In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, although the Women's Doubles performance of the Japanese team is very active many times, the National Women's Doubles has basically not fallen behind, and the Fanchen combination has been rushing in front.
Three years ago, in the Sino-Thai war, He Bingjiao did not get the opportunity to play, Chen Yufei lost 0-2 to Indanong in the first women's singles, Gao Fangjie lost 1-2 to Jin Dawen in the third singles, and Li Xuerui lost 11-21, 9-21 to Busanland in the fifth game. The record of the Chinese team reaching the final of the You Cup for 17 consecutive times has come to an end, mainly due to the gap period after the national women's singles dominated the world badminton world for many years, and the new generation has not grown up in time. After the Rio Olympics, Wang Yihan, Wang Shixian, and Sun Yu of the Mesozoic Generation have retired one after another, and Guoyu has listed Chen Yufei as a key training object since the second half of 2016.
Doubles more stable Chen Yufei He Bingjiao changed a lot
Now the women's line of the national feather, the doubles is more stable than three years ago, and the women's singles Chen Yufei has grown into an Olympic champion who can play the role of the top pillar at the key moment of the top competition, and the second single He Bingjiao is not far behind the recent international arena performance. Judging from the current Uber Cup participating teams, He Bingjiao is indeed the strongest two singles, in fact, He Bingjiao's appointment as a single is completely fine, and she has played a single twice in the group stage.
The second women's doubles match of the Sino-Japanese battle in the early morning of this morning can be described as the highest level of women's doubles PK in this Uber Cup. Jia Yifan once partnered with Huang Dongping in the group stage, but at present, this is only a temporary choice, and Guo Yu's current unstoppable first women's doubles combination is still Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan. In the final, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan played at a very high level, and the 29-27 victory in the first set reflected their spirit of never giving up in the face of difficulties. In the final 117 minutes, they won 2-1 against Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto, who scored a crucial point for the Chinese team in this final. In the fourth women's doubles, Huang Dongping / Lee Wenmei vs. Nao Matsuyama / Matsutomo Misaki, this ball is also difficult to play, the opponent is not under Yuki Fukushima / Matsumoto Mayu. But Huang Dongping, who came from the mixed doubles side to support the women's doubles, took Li Wenmei in 1999 to defeat the opponent in two straight sets to seal the victory for the Chinese team. The new combination of Huang Dongping/Li Wenmei, at least in front of the Paris Olympic cycle, is available.
Chen Yufei won the Olympic games and the National Games women's singles championship this year, and the previous Sudirman Cup was also played as an absolute main force, winning many key goals for the Chinese team, but finally lost to Akane Yamaguchi in the final of the Su Cup. And this time in the Uber Cup, although Chen Yufei lost to Akane Yamaguchi again in the final, the overall performance was still remarkable. Yamaguchi Akane's strength is also very strong, the current world women's singles Chen Yufei, Yamaguchi Akane, Okuhara Hope, Dai Ziying and other people, there is no chance of winning between each other, who is in a good state to play well may win. He Bingjiao played all 6 matches this time, the first game of the group stage against Canada and the third round against Denmark she played a single, including the one against Denmark, she defeated Christopherson 21-13, 21-15 after losing the first set 21-23. In the quarterfinals, semi-finals and today's final, He Bingjiao played perfectly.
The group stage newcomers have kept up with the team
For a world hegemon like the Chinese team, whether it is the Su Cup or the Tang You Cup, any game of the ball, no matter who the opponent is, has a great value in training the team. Now the absolute main force of the national feather women's line Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, Chen Qingchen, Jia Yifan and other people, if they insist on playing until they are about 30 years old, even the national feathers of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games can maintain the current state of "sufficient soldiers".
After winning the National Yuyu Cup today, women's singles coach Luo Yigang wrote a very exciting speech on Weibo, one of which specifically mentioned "congratulations to Wang Zhiyi for growing into a world champion". Wang Zhiyi, born in 2000, and Han Yue, born in 1999, have made appearances in the group stage of the You Cup. And the women's doubles post-00 combination Liu Xuanxuan / Xia Yuting also appeared in the match between You Cup Guoyu and Canada. In the new Olympic cycle, the national feather not only maintains the continuous update and progress of the main layer, but also the echelon construction and reserve force training are also carried out simultaneously, if these newcomers can have excellent performances in the international arena in the next one or two years, they will have the opportunity to enter the core main layer of the national feather women's line.
