Li Yang/Wang Qilin was confirmed in October this year that it would not cooperate in European competitions. Li Yang will change to match his 23-year-old junior Lu Zhen to attack. At that time, he will compete in international competitions with different styles. I also hope that his good partner Wang Qilin can recover his injuries quickly and work together again in November.
Li Yang and Wang Qilin won the men's doubles gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics last year, but the situation this year is not ideal. The only masterpiece is that they won the runner-up of the Super 300 series China Taipei Open in July this year, and stopped in the quarterfinals of the Japan World Championships and Japan Open in August.
In fact, Wang Qilin's injury to plantar fasciitis became serious after the Thai Open in May this year, and decided to give up this year's European competition. He has currently undergone three PRP high-concentration platelet plasma treatments, and his recovery is about 70% or 80%. It is expected that he will reunite with Li Yang in the Australian Open in mid-November as soon as possible.
Faced with the injury of teammates, Li Yang hopes that Wang Qilin can recover from his injury as soon as possible and can come back to fight when his injury is recovered. Since Wang Qilin briefly quit, Li Yang decided to cooperate with Lu Zhen, hoping to spark different sparks. Li Yang revealed, "Lu Zhen plays similarly to me, and will pay more attention to speed and rotation attacks, hoping to get different stimulation through such cooperation."
Li Yang/Lu Zhen will encounter Malaysian opponent Nur Izzuddin/Wu Shifei in the first round of the Danish Open, which is bound to be a tough battle.
