The last time we saw a full draw at the HSBC BWF Tour was at the 2020 All England Open, when no team quit or any player chose to retire due to injury or fatigue.
The 2022 Brit Will be the first time we have witnessed a full BWF Tour since the COVID-19 outbreak. This means that our racing has gradually recovered and the competitiveness of the world badminton world has returned to the past.
Polly fought all over England again
We see again the name of veteran Polly, who considered retiring after winning an Olympic gold medal last year. After being elected president of the BWF Athletes' Committee, she seemed determined to extend her career. Polly and partner Rahäu are in the bottom half of the signing table, and it is worth noting that Rahoyo did not partner with Polly at the German Open the previous week, but chose to register with the young Siti.
Another high-profile duo, Yuki Fukushima and Caihua Hirota, also chose to return to the UK after a brief departure from the competition due to knee injury surgery. Partner Yuki Fukushima, who partnered three other players in the European season last year, is keenly watched for Saihana Hirota's comeback, and she and her partner Fukushima will also try to win the 2020 championship.
Okuhara hopes to return
The women's singles arena has returned to its former glory, with almost all the star players signing up. Fifth seed Okuhara Hope's final match was the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics. Over the past few months, it has taken Okhara hope to take a lot of time to recover from injuries, and her first game of return will face some challenges against Danish rising star Christopherson, who is tall and arm-length.
Top seed Dai Ziying, who was in the top half, lost to Akane Yamaguchi in the final of the World Championships in Huelva at the end of last year. St. St. Co's Olympic champion Chen Yufei chose to rest due to injury after leading The Chinese team to win the Sudirman Cup and Uber Cup in October last year, and this time she and her teammates Wang Zhiyi and Zhang Yiman were divided in the lower half of the yamaguchi Akane.
Recreate the Dragon Peach Society?
The men's singles draw is still full of unknowns, and Acetron and Momota Kendou, who are in the upper and lower half of the zone, are expected to meet in the final. Momota has gradually regained his former form during last year's European season, but is still some distance from his peak level. After opting out of the Huelva World Championships, it is believed that his body has recovered well.
The final between Arcelor and Momota Kendou was doubted by Luo Jianyou, who was in hot form at the World Championships in Huelva, and he was divided into the top half of Momota Kendou's position. Interestingly, he will face third seed Antonson in the first round. Another player to look forward to is Lakshya, who beat Luo Jianyou earlier this year to win the Indian Open.
Seventh seed Jonathan is equally noteworthy as defending champion Li Zijia, who helped the Indonesian men's team win the 2020 Thomas Cup. He hasn't competed in any of the games since last year's Indonesia Open.
China's choice
In the chinese team's registration list, we found that there was no name of Shi Yuqi.
After Li Junhui officially announced his retirement, Liu Yuchen's partner in the first race was Zhou Haodong.
Olympic champions And runners-up Wang Yilu/Huang Dongping and Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong were all divided into the lower half of the zone. Another slightly unfamiliar name is Zhang Shuxian, who partnered Zheng Yu in women's doubles and Ou Xuanyi in mixed doubles in this All England Open. At the German Open the week before the All England, she will partner Zheng Siwei, while Huang Yaqiong will partner Ou Xuanyi.
Brand new combination
There are also a number of new combinations that have caught our attention, with Indonesian player Vidjiajia pairing up with Ferdinandia and Malaysian player Wu Liuying also partnering Wang Yaoxin. In the women's doubles event, Putita's new partner became Pasampran.
