The most impressive performance came from Lu Guangzu, although he is much lower in the world ranking than Ginting and has been significantly inferior to his opponent throughout his career. Facing the Indonesian star Lu Guangzu, he played an excellent battle of the season. In the first game, the two sides were evenly matched, and Lu Guangzu lost 19:21, but in the second game, Lu Guangzu was even more tenacious and rewrote the score to 20 draws, and then in the battle of Yan Fen, Lu Guangzu rewrote the score to 25:23, and finally won the key second game. In the crucial third game, it is also a tiebreaker, a battle of life and death between two people, in which Lu Guangzu finally defeated the opponent 21:16 and got a key point, and finally locked the victory, and Lu Guangzu's victory also helped the Chinese men's singles continue to retain the championship. In addition, Li Shifeng also advanced to the round of 16 of the Arctic Open, while another Chinese men's singles player, Wei Lanxi, unfortunately went out.
In addition, in the men's doubles, the combination of Wang Chang and Leung Wai Hang continued to advance to the round of 16, also at the Beijing Open.

The Chinese pair only scored 12 points in two games, and in the crucial second game, they swept the opponent and only allowed the opponent to get three points.
In addition, in the matchup of this competition, the withdrawal of Denmark's Gemke also allowed rival Lakshya to directly advance to the round of 16 to continue the hope of winning the championship. In the women's singles, China's Wang Ziyi lost to a large farmer, but Han Yue and Zhang Yiman both went smoothly and advanced to the round of 16 of the Arctic Open.
