Event Preview

1. First, congratulations to the Chinese men's team for making it to the final. It was very moving to see them come back from a 0-2 deficit against Korea in the semifinals, with their key player leading a three-game winning streak to overturn the match 3-2 and advance to the final.
2. Since we are the defending Thomas Cup champions, we qualify directly for the next Thomas Cup. Therefore, our goal is to blend experienced players with newcomers and give the younger players valuable experience.
3. For today's final, I checked the Japanese lineup, and they are fielding their full-strength top players. So, our chances of winning tonight's final are slim.
4. I hope the Chinese players will continue to perform well, strive to win, and bring home the championship.
