In the last Uber Cup final held in Bangkok, Thailand, the national badminton team lost to the Korean team in the final. Now sitting at home, regaining the You Cup has become the only goal of the national feather team. Although the final started at 9:30 in the morning, the Chengdu High-tech Sports Center Gymnasium was almost full.
In the semi-finals the day before, the Indonesian team fought hard for five games against South Korea and finally won the final. After 16 years, the Indonesian team once again reached the Uber Cup finals. However, perhaps because they consumed too much energy in the semifinals, the Indonesian team did not cause too much trouble for the national feathers in the finals.
In the first women’s singles match, Olympic champion Chen Yufei defeated Indonesia’s world ninth Mariska 21:7 and 21:16 in just 38 minutes. Although she did not take the field until the last round of the group stage, Chen Yufei performed perfectly in the four games of this Cup. Not only did she not lose a game, but she also won the game steadily. She can be called the current leader of the women’s team. “Dinghai Shenzhen”.

“I think this is the best one I have played in the You Cup. Although I may not have met the top players, Aya Ohori and Mariska are both very good players, and they can both go 2:0. It was a big encouragement to win it,” Chen Yufei said after the game.
The Indonesian team split the doubles lineup. Olympic champion Rahayu was absent, and Siti teamed up with Sugiarto to serve as the first doubles team. Facing this new combination, the world’s number one Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan also encountered no obstacles and won quickly with 21:11 and 21:8.

In the Sudirman Cup and Uber Cup competitions, “Fanchen” has been partnered for many times. After the game, when asked if this Uber Cup would be their last time together, they said: “Maybe it will be sad for the fans not to see us playing together. But if this is really our last Please wish us a better life and a wider path in the future, because badminton is not everything to us. We once told each other that if the other party retires, don’t cry. Let’s laugh and wish each other a new beginning in life.”
In the second singles duel, facing the world’s 38th-ranked Vadoyo, the world’s sixth-ranked He Bingjiao was a little nervous and lost at 10:21 in the first game. Fortunately, she withstood the pressure and won 21:15 and 21:21. Winning at 17 helped Guoyu seal the victory.
