China News Client Beijing, March 14th (Li He) In the 2020 All-British Badminton Open Mixed Double Quarterfinal, which ended on the evening of the 13th, Beijing time, No. 2 seed Wang Xilu / Huang Dongping was attacked by Jordan / May of Indonesia. Latti reversed, losing the total score 1: 2, missed the semifinals. Subsequently, the women's doubles top seed Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan also defeated the Japanese team in three games. In this way, taking into account the previous "IELTS combination" defeat in the second round, the Guoyu ace army has made every exit in the British Championship. This also sounded the alarm for Guo Yu's preparations for the next Olympics.
Since the Tokyo Olympics cycle, the state of Guo Yu has fluctuated, but the mixed doubles project has been continuously conveying a "feel of security" to fans. But in the ongoing British Open 2020, this "most stable" project with "dual insurance" rolled over.
First, the top seed "IELTS combination" burst out. In the second round of the all-English mixed doubles match, the top seed Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong burst out to 20:22, 17:21, and the total score was 0: 2. They lost to the Dutch combination Pick / Taborin, which was also eliminated. The pair lost for the first time in the new year.

The top seed is out, this is another opportunity for Guo Yu's other mixed doubles Wang Xilu / Huang Dongping to make a great impact, but who knows that they haven't gone too far than their teammates.
In the quarter-finals, Wang Yilu / Huang Dongping lost 21:15, 19:21 and 19:21 to Indonesia's Jordan / Merati with a total score of 1: 2. Among them, the lead in the second game was 18:10. Next, consecutive points were reversed by opponents.
Coupled with the newcomers Guo Xinwa / Zhang Shuxian who were out in the first round, Guo Yu has been proud of the mixed doubles project for a long time. At the same time, this is also the first time that Guoyu has missed the semifinals in the collective doubles in the IELTS and Yellow Duck combination.

This is not over yet. In the women's doubles arena, the national feather ace women's doubles Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan, which also has the title of "No. 1 Seed", failed to continue the advantage.
In the face of Matsutomo Misaki / Takahashi Reiwa, defending champion Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan lost the first game at 12:21 with a 11: 8 lead. Although they dragged the game into the tiebreaker with a 22:20 victory in the second game, they ended up losing at 12:21 and lost to the Japanese combination after three hard games and missed the promotion.
In this way, the Ace of Guo Yu lost in the whole English game.
Prior to this, Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan just won the women's doubles championship at the Thai Badminton Masters, and the "IELTS combination" has not failed in the new season. In the Indonesian Masters and Malaysian Masters, they all won Back to the championship.

Two single events, two pairs of top seeds, and three sets of trump army have been dropped, saying that coincidence is inevitably too far-fetched.
After the first battle passed the risk, Zheng Siwei once said that he was "painful" and stayed away from the field for two months, making them feel a bit rusty: "We haven't played for two months. We must get into the game as soon as possible to find the game "It's not particularly cold in the field. The rustiness is mainly due to insufficient investment in the game. We still have to mobilize ourselves as much as possible so that the second game can start well."
It turns out that even though they are rusty about the game, they still know enough about themselves. Sure enough, the second game "IELTS" had a bad start and eventually lost the game.
This is the first defeat of Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong this season. At the same time that the 11-game winning streak came to an abrupt halt, the record of 14 consecutive victories and 5 consecutive matches reaching the finals was also ended.
However, to put it another way, this is just the first defeat they suffered in the season. After the game, even the opponents said that they could beat the IELTS combination. "It's like dreaming, because they have won almost all mixed doubles in the past few years. game."

In this case, let's consider their defeat as an occasional incident, and the exit of Wang Xilu / Huang Dongping is more worthy of reflection. After the "IELTS combination" was out, they not only did not shoulder the heavy duty of defending the mixed doubles, but in the 1/4 finals, the central state of the game with the Indonesian combination was ups and downs, and they once lost 9 points in a crash.
It is worth mentioning that in the Danish Open mixed doubles final in October last year, the "Yellow Duck Combination" also unexpectedly lost the championship after losing to the same opponent. From this point of view, while paying attention to the opponent and guarding against "wolf is coming", on the other hand, as a secondary guarantee of "dual insurance", the "yellow duck" combination also needs stronger resistance to stress and psychological preparation in order to Make double insurance more reliable in the Tokyo Olympics.

The women's doubles situation is slightly more complicated. Counting the All England Championship, Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan will be eliminated in the second round of the four races played in 2020. The momentum that has just risen after the Thai Masters Championship has been bumpy in the All England Championship At the end, their status seems more elusive.
Now that the All England game has been carried out, Guo Yu has missed all of the semi-finals in the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles. This has also created the worst performance of Guo Yu in the All England in nearly two decades.
On the day of the third-line defeat, the World Badminton Federation announced that all competitions before April 12th will be cancelled, and the rules regarding the Olympic points will be announced later.
At present, it seems that the loss of these lines will not affect the qualifications of the Olympics already in hand. . In any case, there is still a lot of Guo Yu to do after the All England, and there is not much time left for the Tokyo Olympics. (Finish)
