On March 2, the 1 4 finals of the German Open Badminton Championships were all over, and the semi-finals were all released. In this round of the competition, the Thai team, which sent the strongest team to participate, became the biggest focus, but their women's singles world champion Intanon and mixed doubles world champion Dechapol Sasiri were all upset, and they were all wiped out, and no one advanced to the semi-finals became the biggest upset of the game.
Thailand lost 4 in a row and was wiped out.
The Thai team has made rapid progress in recent years, with the men's singles, women's singles, and mixed doubles all giving birth to world champions, and the women's doubles also having two sets of world-class top 10 level combinations, becoming a world-class powerhouse.
In this competition, the super strong China, Japan and South Korea have hidden the main lineup, and all of them only sent a third-tier lineup to participate. The Thai team sent most of the main players to participate in the competition, which was a great opportunity for them.
The men's singles sent the No. 2 player Wang Gaolun, the women's singles sent the world champions Intanon, Li Meisao and Ge Tong, the men's doubles sent the number one main player Supak Gidinupong, and the mixed doubles sent the world champion Dechapo Sasiri. It can be said that they have the strength to win the championship in all four events, especially the women's singles and mixed doubles, which have a huge advantage.
However, it is a pity that Wang Gaolun and Li Meisao were eliminated in the first round, but Intanon, Getong, Supak Gidinupong, and Dechapo Sasiri all successfully reached the quarterfinals.
1 4 In the finals, Supak Gitinupong lost 0-2 to Li Zhehui Yang Boxuan, Intanon lost 0-2 to Nguyen Thui Tri Linh, Dechapol Sasiri 0-2 Tabolin Pique, Ge Thong 0-2 Kim Jia En, the Thai team suffered 4 consecutive defeats, all of them were wiped out, and no group of players advanced to the semifinals. This has also become the biggest upset of this round, as it is inconceivable that all 300 matches will not be able to qualify for the semi-finals for the highest level of competition.
Europe rises. Of the 20 semi-final spots, Europeans occupy 7 of them, which is still very rare, and it also shows that their overall strength has improved.
The Danes are still the strongest team overall, with them occupying three. Although Denmark's strongest men's singles and men's doubles pairs did not participate, the second-tier players were also very powerful. Men's Singles Gemke, Women's Singles Mia and Men's Doubles Kjaer Sogaard advanced to the semi-finals.
France's Popov Jr. and Lambert Trane also reached the semi-finals, and their strength is also rising year by year, and the future is promising. Bulgaria's Gabriela Stephani sisters are back from injury and are getting better and better. The Netherlands' Tabolin Pique maintained his top-notch performance, beating top seed Dechapol Sasili.
