May 11, the 2022 Uber Cup group stage ended, and the first and second places of each group were settled. The Chinese Badminton team became the only team among all participating teams to score 3 5-0 in the group stage, setting a great record, and the opponents in the quarterfinals will choose 1 in 3. The 6-winning Uber Cup Japanese team suffered its first defeat today, and the world's No. 1 Akane Yamaguchi lost in an upset. Fortunately, the Japanese Army then won four consecutive games, reversed Indonesia and won the first place in the group, avoiding meeting the top spots in other groups in advance.
Chinese team is the number one favorite to win the Uber Cup this year. The coaching staff also sent a luxurious lineup led by the women's singles Olympic champion Chen Yufei and the women's doubles world number one Fan Chen, aiming to strive for the 16th championship. In the three group matches, the only test for the Chinese badminton team was yesterday against Taipei, and Song Shuoyun, who ranked only 87th in the world, suddenly started cheating. He Bingjiao was given a warning 21-18 in the first game, and the Chinese team lost the first game of this Uber Cup. Fortunately, the Chinese national badminton team adjusted quickly after the second round. After the second round, they tied 15, they scored 6 points in a row to tie the score. The decisive game was striking 21-18 and it was difficult to win. The Chinese players who appeared later all won 2-0, and the defending champions all scored 5-0 in the group stage, making all opponents out of reach.
According to the rules, the top 8 opponents of the national badminton team will be generated from the second in the other three groups. Whether it is India, Denmark or Indonesia, the overall strength cannot be compared with the defending champion, and it is difficult to win one win. For the Chinese team, the real challenge will not begin until the semi-finals.
Japan team reached the finals for two consecutive Uber Cups and won 1 championship and 1-3 last year. The Japanese team played smoothly in this tournament, and won two consecutive victories early to secure the semi-finals. Today's competition for the top spot in the group, the world's No. 1 Akane Yamaguchi was rarely down, and was defeated by the unknown Indonesian 2000s Plassista with 21-19. Fortunately, her teammates quickly took revenge and shot 4 2-0 to help Japan reverse Indonesia 4-1 and win the first place in Group A. In addition, the first Chinese team in Group B, the first Thai team in Group C, and the first South Korea in Group D will play against the second place in other groups in the quarter-finals. The draw will be announced soon, so stay tuned.
