For the World Championships, which will take place in Tokyo from August 22 to 28, 2022, the Blues are fixed on their opponents! The Badminton International Federation (BWF) has just drawn the competition
In singles, the Fosséen Toma Junior POPOV (n°27) will face the seeded 7, Jonatan CHRISTIE (n°7). If the Indonesian seems favorite given the ranking, Tomi has every chance, he who narrowly lost to the 2022 Asian vice-champion at the Swiss Open last March (18/21 21/16 22/ 24).
In doubles, the brothers Christo and Toma Junior POPOV (n°29), will be favorites against HEE Yong Kai Terry / LOH Kean Hean (n°41 – Singapore), which would allow them to access the rest of the competition against to the Malaysians NGO Yew Sin/TEO Ee Yi (n°10), for a very strong second round.
Still in doubles, the Aixois Ronan LABAR with Lucas CORVÉE and (n°57) have the favor of the predictions against the Egyptians Adham Hatem ELGAMAL/Ahmed SALAH (n°86), before a possible second round very complicated for them too, against to world number 3, Mohammad AHSAN/Hendra SETIAWAN (Indonesia).
