10 groups of players participated, winning 8 semi-final seats, reaching 4 finals, and winning 2 gold and 3 silver medals – this is the 2023 BWF World Tour Finals report card handed over by the Chinese badminton team. In the last event of 2023, Guoyu showed relatively comprehensive competitiveness in all five individual events. Among them, the mixed doubles and women’s doubles performed the most stably, and the four participating pairs did not lose a foreign battle.
Among the 40 participating seats in the five individual events of this year-end finals, Guoyu is the only team to obtain 10 full participating seats. 8 groups of players emerged from the group stage, with players reaching the semi-finals in 5 individual events, which is unmatched by other teams. The South Korean team, which ranks second in the number of semi-finals, only has one group of players each in women’s singles, women’s doubles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles. The finals are a showdown between the world’s top badminton players. It is not easy for the Chinese badminton team to break into the semi-finals in five individual events, showing its competitiveness in various events.
This year, the national badminton women’s doubles and mixed doubles performed the most stably, and the same was true in the finals. Two pairs of women’s doubles, Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning, competed in the finals and were placed in the same group. “Fanchen” won all the way to the finals and finally won the finals championship for the fourth time, winning eight championships this season. , is the well-deserved best combination of the season. “Post-2000s” Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning participated in the finals for the first time and reached the semi-finals. They did not lose a foreign battle and lost to “Fantasy” twice. Paired for more than a year, the pair of young players have shown a powerful impact.
Winning the championship and runner-up in the finals, the national badminton mixed doubles continued its strong performance. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong faced the South Korean combination Kim Won-ho/Zheng Na-yin in the group stage. They encountered a strong impact from their opponents and were very passive for a time. However, after six years of cooperation, “YELTS”, which has experienced great storms, showed a strong ability to adjust. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong defeated this year’s world championship champions, South Korea’s Seo Seung-jae/Cai Yujing, 2-0 in the finals twice in a row, achieving six consecutive victories against their opponents and defending the honor of being the world’s number one in mixed doubles. The old and new combination Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping also continued to improve this year. In the finals, they faced Japan’s powerful Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino twice and won from 2-1 to 2-0. The “Phoenix” combination is also improving. “It’s my first time participating in the finals. I am quite satisfied with my performance. I can fully release my passion and show the results of my previous training on the field.” Feng Yanzhe said.
In the national badminton men’s doubles, two pairs entered the semi-finals. Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi won three out of three games in the group stage, showing a good competitive state. However, in the semi-finals, they encountered South Korea’s strong team and this year’s world championship champion Seo Seung Jae/Kang Min Hyuk. Liu Yuchen/Ou Xuanyi failed to play their own rhythm and lost 0-2. The “post-00s” Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang faced Seo Seung Jae/Kang Min Hyuk in the final. In the second game, 20-16, they lost 6 points in a row and also lost to the Korean combination 0-2. After a year of hard work, the national badminton men’s doubles has passed the most difficult stage, and the overall strength has improved, but the stability needs to be improved.
In women’s singles, Chen Yufei, the “first sister” of the national feather team, continued her stable performance in previous events and performed at a normal level, but lost to Spanish veteran Marin in both games. “The opponent’s speed was not limited, the changes on the court were a bit slow, and the counterattack after defense was not particularly successful.” Chen Yufei said when analyzing Marin’s two consecutive defeats. Her energy dropped a bit in the final game, and she said she would be more rigorous in future training.
After five years, he entered the finals again. Although Shi Yuqi did not win the men’s singles championship, his overall performance was remarkable, especially his first victory in the group stage, which ended his eight-game losing streak against Danish star Viktor Axelsen. Judging from the finals, Shi Yuqi’s skills and tactics are still at the world’s top level. When his physical and mental state is stable, Shi Yuqi has the ability to compete with any master in the world’s badminton world. “I have been doing psychological construction in the second half of the year. As the Olympic points competition is approaching, I need to go all out.” In Shi Yuqi’s view, having a good mentality and maintaining confidence are more important to him.
