Pre-match predictions

1. Every quarterfinal match is tough, and the Chinese team needs to prepare carefully.
2. The men’s singles already have one semifinalist from China, most likely Shi Yuqi. He is the only Chinese player among the final four, so winning the championship will be challenging. Go Shi Yuqi, keep pushing forward!
3. In women’s singles, Chen Yufei is very likely to defeat her opponent Li Meimiao to reach the semifinals. We also look forward to Han Yue beating Akane Yamaguchi to advance.
4. In men’s doubles, only Chen Boyang/Liu Yi remain. We hope they win and advance to the semifinals. Unfortunately, the Liang Wang pair was eliminated in the previous round.
5. In mixed doubles, the pair Wei Yaxin/Jiang Zhenbang has a high chance of reaching the semifinals; the other two pairs also have hopes and should keep fighting.
6. In women’s doubles, two pairs face each other early, with the Shengtan pair expected to win and advance to the semifinals. Their goal is to secure the championship for China.
