Summary and Reflection

1. The Phoenix pair, Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping, as the world’s number one mixed doubles team, were expected to contend for the championship. Unexpectedly, they were eliminated in the first round, which is very disappointing. Feng Yanzhe was too stubborn, relying solely on brute force without using skillful shots or tactics to unsettle the opponents. Their loss was not undeserved.
2. Other mixed doubles pairs performed excellently, defeating their opponents. It seems the responsibility to win the championship now falls on the Jiang Ban Ya duo.
3. Shi Yuqi showed an outstanding performance, smoothly advancing to the round of 16 and deserves praise. However, it is unfortunate that his potential successors remain inconsistent.
