The second day of the 2023 BWF World Finals has ended with the results announced.
Seven players from the Chinese badminton team have successfully advanced to the semi-finals, including Chen Yufei in Women's Singles, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan in Women's Doubles, and Zheng Siwei, Huang Yaqiong, Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping in Mixed Doubles.
As for the men's players, Shi Yuqi, Li Shifeng, Liu Ou and Liang Wang still need to continue to work hard.
In Men's Singles Group A, Ginting is number one with 2-0, followed by Shi Yuqi with 1-1, Viktor Axelsen and Kodai Naraoka with 1-1 and 0-2 respectively.
In the final round of the group stage, Shi Yuqi will face Kodai Naraoka, while Ginting will face Viktor Axelsen.
Although Shi Yuqi is currently in second place, he is still at risk of being eliminated and must win to advance to the final four or risk being overtaken by Axelsen.
The Men's Singles Group B standings are a bit more complicated: Jonatan is in first place with 2-0, Antonsen and Li Shifeng are second and third respectively with 1-1, and Kunlavut is bottom with 0-2.
In the final round, Li Shifeng will face Jonatan and Antonsen will take on Kunlavut.
According to the all-time head-to-head record, Jonatan leads Lee Shifeng 4-0, while Antonsen leads Kunlavut 2-1, so Li Shifeng must get a win to advance to the last four, with Antonsen losing to Kunlavut at best.
In Women's Singles, there have been two semi-final spots, both from Group B's Chen Yufei and Marin.
At present, Chen Yufei and Ma Lin are both leading with 2-0 records, while Han Yue and Zhang Beiwen are both at the bottom with 0-2 records.
As a result, Chen Yufei and Marin will advance together, and in the final round, they will face off for the top spot in the group.
In Group A, the situation is relatively complicated, with Tai Tzu Ying in first place with 2 wins, Kim Ga-eun and Ahn Se-ying in second and third place with 1-1 loss respectively, and Mariska at the bottom with 2 losses.
In the final round, Tai Tzu Ying will face Ahn Se Ying, while Kim Jia Eun will face Mariska.
In Women's Doubles Group A, Japan's Mayu Matsumoto and Kakana Nagahara withdrew from the competition, resulting in the results of Tan Ning, Liu Shengshu and Shuangla being cleared.
The only thing that is certain now is that Jia Yifan and Chen Qingchen qualified early with a record of 2 wins and 0 losses, and in the final round of the game, they will get a valuable bye rest.
The other spot in this group will be won by the winning team of Tan Ning, Liu Shengshu and Shuangla.
Group B was a relatively straightforward one, with Nami Matsuyama, Chiyo Shida and Ha Na Baek and Lee So-hee all advancing with 2-0 losses.
In Men's Doubles, Group A is a relatively mixed standing, with Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi currently ranked first with 2 wins and 0 losses, Leung Wai Hang, Wang Chang and Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi second and third respectively with 1 win and 1 loss, and Xie Dingfeng and Su Weiyi at the bottom with 0 wins and 2 losses.
Except for Xie Dingfeng and Su Weiyi, who have been eliminated, the remaining three groups of players have a chance to advance to the semifinals.
With the results of the final round, the qualification spots for the Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles will be finalized.
If Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi beat Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi 2-0, and Leung Wai Hang and Wang Chang beat Xie Dingfeng and Su Weiyi 2-0, all three pairs will finish with a 2-1 record.
In the winning game, Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi fell behind the Liang Wang combination and the nanny combination 5-3 in the case of 4-4.
Therefore, it will be the Liang Wang combination and the nanny combination that will be promoted in the end.
These two Men's Doubles pairs will have to give their all and we look forward to seeing them progress together.
In Mixed Doubles, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong, as well as Seo Seung Jae and Choi Yoo Hyun, all qualified from Group B early with a 2-0 record.
The Phoenix pair in Group A have also advanced to the semi-finals.
Even if Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping lose 0-2 to the Dongdu pair in the final round, and Chen Tangjie and Du Yiwei defeat Dechapol and Sasiri 2-0, they will also be ranked second due to the advantage of the win-loss relationship, so as to advance to advance.
