Post-match summary and analysis
China’s performance in the quarterfinals deserves praise and recognition.
Special commendation goes to men’s doubles Chen Baiyang and Liu Yi for breaking through to the semifinals.
Han Yue’s loss to Akane Yamaguchi is somewhat disappointing, as she was defending the bottom half and had a chance to contend for the title. In the women’s singles semifinal, Chen Yufei faces An Se-young, a tough challenge with slim chances.
Women’s doubles and mixed doubles performed as expected and deserve praise. However, the mixed doubles semifinal will be an internal team battle, which is unfortunate.
Shi Yuqi truly is a treasure for China’s badminton team; the men’s singles results still rely heavily on the veteran Shi Yuqi.
