Event Preview

1. In today’s semifinals, the Chinese team will play six matches, with an expected 3 to 4 victories advancing to the finals.
2. The men’s doubles pair Liang and Wang have a chance to win and reach the final; it depends on their motivation to fight hard.
3. The women’s doubles opponents are very strong, so it depends on how quickly the Fanchen duo can improve their tactics and skills, as they have only recently paired up again. Personally, I think their chance of losing is higher.
4. The women’s singles is an internal team battle, with Wang Zhiyi likely to win and advance to the final.
5. The mixed doubles opponents are all tough, but I believe the Jiang Ban Ya and Phoenix pairs will each overcome their rivals and meet in the final, securing both titles for China in advance.
6. Shi Yuqi’s opponent in men’s singles, Axelsen, is also very strong, but Shi Yuqi is stronger and should have about a 60% chance to win and reach the final.
