2021All England Badminton Open updated the entry list, Chinese Taipei players Zhou Tiancheng and Tai Tzu Ying have withdrawn from the All England Badminton Open on February 17th.
Up to now, except Wang Ziwei and Li Yang/Wang Qilin, the rest of the Chinese Taipei team players have withdrawn from the competition, and a few days ago the Malaysian team's Xie Dingfeng/Su Weiyi, Wu Shifei/Nuizuddin are also preparing to retire, plus the Chinese team If they did not participate, the main force of the Korean team did not participate, and the All England match will only get colder and colder.
Affected by the epidemic, the prize money of this year's All England Open has shrunk, and there are no Olympic points. More players may choose to retire.
Many fans were also disappointed by the withdrawal of Tai Tzu Ying and Zhou Tiancheng, but also expressed their understanding, "Although we are looking forward to Tai Tzu Ying's game, epidemic prevention is more important, and the mutated virus in the UK still needs to be vigilant." "Compared to Thailand's epidemic prevention, the UK doesn't seem to be so strict, so athletes must be careful when going to the competition, and we also need to understand the players who retire." Netizens left messages in support.
However, the Japanese team is still on the list, and Momota Kento will also make an official comeback in the All England, and is expected to compete with Ansailong , who won two Thailand Open championships and runner-up in the BWF World Finals recently. They met in the final, and the showdown between the two of them may become the biggest highlight of this All England match.
"I believe that with the participation of Kento Momota, it is very difficult for Ansailong to win the championship. In the previous rounds in Thailand, it was because Kento Momota did not participate, and Ansailong had a chance." Netizens who support Kento Momota commented. In fact, what netizens said is not unreasonable. After all, Taotian Xiandou had crushed Ansailong in the match record, and in several competitions, Taotian Xiandou had the last laugh.
