On March 16, Beijing time, the 2022 All England Open will start in Birmingham. Recently, the results of the draw for this event have been released. The Chinese badminton team has a poor luck in the lottery. In the first round of the men’s and women’s singles, the national badminton will encounter many civil wars. In addition, the men’s doubles and mixed doubles also have a large area of contestants. The 2019 women’s singles champion and last year’s Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Chen Yufei, the first sister of Guoyu, will compete for the second championship in the individual competition at this year’s All England.
In the men’s singles, the new Olympic champion Axelsen of Denmark and Kento Momota of Japan are the top two seeds of the tournament, located in the upper and lower halves respectively. Ansailong is the men’s singles champion in the 2020 season, and Kento Momota is the 2019 men’s singles champion. The 2018 All England men’s singles champion Shi Yuqi of the Chinese team did not appear on the entry list this time. Last year’s men’s singles champion, Malaysia’s dark horse Li Zijia, was in the 4/4 area of the men’s singles. His first-round opponent was Japanese player Kenta Nishimoto. The Chinese team has only two men’s singles players, Lu Guangzu and Zhao Junpeng, who will meet in the first round. They are in the 3/4 zone of the men’s singles.
Tai Tzu-ying of the Chinese Taipei team and Akane Yamaguchi, the champion of the new World Championships women’s singles, are the top two seeds in the women’s singles. The Olympic champion Chen Yufei of the Chinese team was in the 3/4 zone of the women’s singles. She faced teammate Zhang Yiman in the first round. Tai Tzu Ying is the three-time women’s singles champion in 2017, 2018 and 2020, Chen Yufei is the 2019 women’s singles champion, and Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara won the All England Championship last year. Of the five Chinese women’s singles players, except for Han Yue in the upper half, the other four are in the lower half. He Bingjiao will face Kozeskaya in the 3/4 area in the first round, and Wang Zhiyi will be in the 4/4 area. The first round of the district challenged India’s first sister Sindu.
In men’s doubles, Indonesia’s Gideon/Sukamuyo, Ashan/Setiawan are the top two seeds in the tournament respectively. The three pairs of national feather men’s doubles who signed up for the competition are all in the lower half. Liu Yuchen/Zhou Haodong will face Thailand in the first round. The combination Supa-Zongguo/Jidin Nupong, He Jiting/Tan Qiang will face Wu Shifei/Nuyizuddin in the first round, and Liu Cheng/Zhang Nan will face Bell/Moorhard in the first round.
The 2019 women’s doubles champions Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan are the top seeds this time, and they will face the challenge of the new Korean duo Zheng Na Eun/Kim Hye Jung in the first round. Liu Xuanxuan/Xia Yuting and Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian are in the bottom half. Liu Xuanxuan/Xia Yuting will face McGlund/Lavin in the first round, and Zheng Yu/Zhang Shuxian will face Yuki Fukushima/Ayaka Hirota in the first round. Ayaka Hirota underwent surgery on her right knee after the Tokyo Olympics last year. The current state of the former world No. 1 pair can be seen in the first round.
In mixed doubles, in order to ensure the success of the registration, Guoyu let the IELTS combination be paired temporarily. Thailand’s Dechabo/Sasiri is the top seed in the tournament, and the first round opponents are Chen Tangjie/Bai Yanwei. Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong are the No. 2 seeds in the tournament and will face William Villiger/Anne Tran in the first round. Olympic champions Wang Yilyu/Huang Dongping are in zone 3/4 of mixed doubles, and they face Mickelson/Sobie in the first round. If the IELTS combination can advance to the second round, it will be against the winner between Adam Hall/Julie and Guoyu teammates Ou Xuanyi/Zhang Shuxian.
