The Zhejiang team, regarded as the favorite to win the championship, achieved a complete victory in the group stage. Whether the team's "general" Chen Yufei can lead the Zhejiang team to win the championship with the momentum of an Olympic champion has also become the focus of attention. However, in the last round of the group stage, Chen Yufei suffered a foot injury. Although he eventually defeated his opponent and helped the Zhejiang team defeat the Fujian team, the sudden injury cast a shadow on the Zhejiang team's path to the championship.
In the semi-final between Zhejiang team and Jiangsu team, Chen Yufei met again with national team teammate He Bingjiao. In the Tokyo Olympics badminton women's singles semifinals, Chen Yufei defeated He Bingjiao and advanced to the finals. They met again after more than a month, but Chen Yufei suffered a foot injury and was suppressed by He Bingjiao, losing the women's singles match. In the end, the Jiangsu team defeated the Zhejiang team 3-2 to advance to the finals. In another semi-final, the Hubei team easily defeated the Fujian team and "joined" the Jiangsu team in the final.
