CCTV Sports has announced the complete live broadcast plan for the Korea Open badminton tournament today (September 25, 2025), featuring 10 Chinese teams competing in 9 matches.

From the broadcast schedule above, we can see:

1. Today is the round of 16, with the Chinese team playing 9 matches and likely to win 7 to 8 of them.
2. In this event, five Chinese mixed doubles pairs have advanced to the round of 16, making up half of the Chinese contingent at this stage. Their strength is outstanding, giving them a chance to claim the championship and runner-up titles. Of the five mixed doubles pairs playing today, 3 to 4 are expected to win and move on to the quarterfinals. The biggest concern is the pair Gao Jiaxuan/Wu Mengying, who might lose and be eliminated.
3. Only one male and one female singles player remain for China. Male singles player Weng Hongyang has an 80% chance to defeat Japanese player Watanabe Koki and reach the quarterfinals, while female singles player Gao Fangjie has a 50% chance to beat Kim Ga-eun and advance to the last eight.
4. The women's doubles pair Jia Yifan/Chen Qingchen are aiming for the championship and are a formidable force, so they are sure to win and advance to the quarterfinals.
5. Two men's doubles pairs will face each other in an internal showdown; I favor Ren Xiangyu/Xie Haonan to win and move on to the quarterfinals.
