The World Championship is regarding to start, which can be regarded as the first major event of the “Paris Cycle”, and the result is of course even more exciting. As far as a Taiwanese fan is concerned, the most concerned event is naturally the women’s singles. It is an indisputable fact that Tai Tzu Ying’s career is only adorned by a gold medal. However, the badminton landscape is constantly changing, and she will also face some different challenges.
As PV Sindhu has announced that he must retire due to a fatigue fracture of his left ankle, this makes the picture of the women’s singles field of this year’s World Championships a bit more monolithic. After the attendance rate and performance have both declined, the former is one of the few first-line players who can attack and pierce the defense line.
The top players in the women’s singles world have been adjusting almost all during this period, and their state is elusive. An Seiying retired when she played once morest Jin Jiaen in the domestic championship. I don’t know what happened; At the beginning of this signing, I will be once morest Gregoria Mariska Tunjung, Jin Jiaen, and Ma Lin, some of whom she has played poorly recently. It’s hard to say how far she can go.
However, following Xindu’s retirement, the upper and lower half of the women’s singles draw has grown. An Xiying has less enemies in the quarter-finals, and now has a high chance of going straight to the semi-finals; you don’t have to worry regarding running into the “big competition Xindu”, right For Akane Yamaguchi, who is aiming to defend the title, it is also a big plus. This time, Tai Tzu Ying was placed in the bottom half with the second seed. The change in this situation had little effect on her, because her main enemies were still Chen Yufei and Okuhara Nozomi, who belonged to the same district.
Looking back on the 2022 World Tour schedule, following the Tokyo Olympics cycle, players from all over the world are undergoing a blood exchange, but women’s singles and mixed doubles have not seen the waves. In mixed doubles, Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong continued to maintain their dominance, preparing to hit the Paris Olympics and win back the mixed doubles gold medal that was accidentally lost; while in women’s singles, several East Asian giants from the previous class are still standing, and the only young players are An. Xi Ying can make a breakthrough from them. Under such circumstances, the candidates for the women’s singles title at this World Championships should be familiar faces.
When entering the Southeast Asian season in the middle of this year, the top performers in women’s singles – Chen Yufei, Tai Tzu Ying and Ratchanok Intanon – were all placed in the bottom half this time. In addition, Okuhara hoped to be in good shape recently. stabilizing trend. From this point of view, it is not easy for Xiao Dai to play the draw from the bottom half, not to mention that these three players were originally difficult for her to play.
At last year’s World Championships, Xiao Dai admitted that he was too drained on He Bingjiao in the semi-finals, which was one of the reasons why he lost to Akane Yamaguchi in the final. Her original words in an interview with the BWF were: “I think my speed is slow, so I feel that her (Yamaguchi) ball is very fast, causing me a lot of pressure. In addition, I can’t control myself well. There are also some problems with running, so I can’t compete with her very well.”
If this is the case, then this year Tai Tzu Ying will probably encounter the same problem on the way to the promotion. She may face Danish female player Mia Blichfeldt in the first round. One; then there is Nozomi Okuhara, who has a winning record in his career and has a tricky ball, followed by Chen Yufei, the East Olympic gold medalist, who are not easy to deal with.
But that’s the challenge you have to face to become a world champion, whether it’s physical fitness, unforced errors, or psychological factors.
So who has the most advantage in this world championship? The answer is the Chinese mainland badminton national team. Obviously, when Chen Yufei, He Bingjiao, and Wang Zhiyi each defended one and a half areas, they have the group advantage. This situation is a bit like the Japanese women’s doubles during 2018-19.
And this layer of meaning is not just on paper——
Back then, when Lee Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan in the competition every year, there were people in Malaysia who saw it very clearly and believed that the key to victory or defeat was not on the court – the talent, strength and maturity of the two were very similar – but their own The team’s logistical gap is determined.
When a player has been in a strong internal competitive environment for a long time, he will naturally be more able to adapt to various modes in competitions and achieve ideal results. Take billiards in mainland China as an example, why are their players always so stable? The reason is that if you can’t maintain your grades, the representation will be taken away by others; at the same time, when there are enough internal talent pools, players will be able to communicate with top players of various technical styles to achieve progressive results.
In order to deal with the number one imaginary enemy Mima Ito, the Chinese table tennis team found someone to simulate her ball path 2-3 years before the start of the East Olympics, and she became a sparring partner temporarily because of the similar style of the female player Muzi. This is the advantage of the sports “big country”. That’s why Axelsen wants to hold a training camp in Dubai and invite players from all over the world to participate at his own expense.
It is not news that the Chinese badminton team used men’s players to imitate Tai Tzu Ying’s style of play and let Chen Yufei practice the ball. During the “Two Kings and One Li” period, three top players competed with each other for seats, making the Chinese women’s singles rare before Ma Lin came out. Although the dominance is not as good as before, there are three players in the top 12 in the world. It still gives them an advantage over other national players in this kind of competition.
This also shows that the achievement of professional sports is definitely not a matter of one person, and it is extremely unreasonable for Tai Tzu Ying to bear all the pressure. Of course she has her own problems to overcome, but the improvement of Taiwan’s overall environment and the creation of “group advantages” are the correct solutions to winning the World Championships.
