After two days of competition, the 32nd round of the 2021 Spanish Badminton World Championships was officially released, and the young national badminton players performed well. In terms of singles, the men's singles Lu Guangzu, Li Shifeng and Zhao Junpeng were fierce opponents, and the women's singles Han Yue and Zhang Yiman were successfully promoted; in doubles, both new combination debuts were made, and there were also "old with new" to show the style of national feathers.
Of the three men's singles players who competed in the World Championships this time, only Lu Guangzu had more experience. As the first player on the Chinese team, Lu Guangzu won the opening goal for the national feather 2-0. In this match, he played against Thai talented teenager Kunlavut. As the treble-champion of the World Youth Championship, Kunlavut is the leader among young people, with very solid defensive skills and a stable mentality.
In the game, Lu Guangzu tore through Quinavut's defense with a powerful attack, scored multiple shots, and finally won the first victory of the World Championship 21-16, 21-12. From Sanshan Xiaolu to the key gentleman in the Tang Cup against India, Lu Guangzu has continued to grow and gain in the game, and in the second round of the competition, he will play against Chinese Taipei's Zhou Tiancheng.
The other two men's singles players were also surprised in the game. Facing the tenth seed Wang Ziwei, Zhao Junpeng did not have the slightest nervousness and helplessness, in the case of losing one set first, he withstood the pressure and pulled two sets in a row to achieve a wonderful reversal, 2-1 victory over Wang Ziwei to advance to the top thirty-two.
Li Shifeng, who participated in the World Championships for the first time, also made his adult debut 2-0, and in the next round, he will face India's Srikante.
Because He Bingjiao and Wang Zhiyi had a first-round bye, in the first round of the women's singles competition, only Han Yue and Zhang Yiman appeared. Facing Vietnamese player Nguyen Thuy Ling, Han Yue took the lead and won 21-16, 21-14.
In the next round of the competition, her original opponent Spain's marlin withdrew, and Han Yue won without a fight to advance to the round of sixteen. Another national featherweight player, Zhang Yiman, also easily advanced 21-10, 21-13.
At this World Championships, the men's doubles only has a group of seeded players He Jiting / Tan Qiang. In the first round, Liu Cheng/Huang Kaixiang defeated Hong Kong's Zhang Dezheng/Yang Mingnuo 2-0 to advance to the round of 32; another group of men's doubles players Zhang Nan/Ou Xuanyi also easily passed. In the interview, three-time World Champion Zhang Nan said that Ou Xuanyi is young and fast, and the two people can make up for each other. For the next game, he also said that he should be prepared for difficulties and face difficulties.
Compared with the wonderful performances of the two groups of old and new men's doubles, the world championship debut of Di Zijian/Wang Chang ended slightly regrettably, and when facing more experienced Japanese players, the prince combination was more nervous, made more mistakes, and lost 0-2.
In the mixed doubles, the First Seed IELTS combination had a first-round bye, and Guo Xinwa/Zhang Shuxian directly advanced to the round of 32 due to the withdrawal of their opponents. The only one to play, Feng Xueying/Ou Xuanyi, successfully advanced to the final. In the first set, the two men dared to fight in the key points, winning the first set 23-21, and the confident Feng Ou combination played wonderful goals in the second set many times, and finally locked up the victory 23-21, 21-14.
In the first round of the competition, the young players of the Chinese team performed well, did not give up on the field, and played with style.
