On September 27th, 2023, Beijing time, the badminton team competition was announced. There will be 7 gold medals in badminton competition in this Asian Games, among which 2 gold medals will be produced in team events. China men's team won a good place in the lottery, and it is expected to advance directly to the semi-finals or even the finals, but the women's team may meet the Japanese in advance.
As seed players, both men's and women's teams in China will have a bye in the first round. China men's team will play the winner between China Taibei team and Maldives team in the quarter-finals, so it should not be difficult to advance to the semi-finals. China Taipei team is stronger and is expected to face China team.
Zhou Tiancheng is a member of the China Taipei team, but his condition has declined seriously in recent seasons, and he has lost to Chinese mainland players many times this season. In men's doubles, Yang Li and Wang Qilin are unstable, although they have won some championships this season.
But in the face of Wang Chang and Liang Weikeng, as well as Liu and Ou Xuanyi, the odds are not great. China is expected to easily enter the semi-finals. The opponent who is most likely to meet China is Thailand or Japan.
In addition to China, which is expected to enter the men's team semi-finals, Japan and Thailand also have the opportunity to hit the semi-finals. China is expected to enjoy success, while Japan and Thailand are expected to advance to the quarterfinals. Thailand has men's singles players Kun Lavoute and Wang Gaolun, while Japan has strong men's doubles players such as Nara Okada, Baomu Zhuo Lang and Kobayashi Yū.
If Thailand and Japan meet in the competition, it will be a decisive battle. The tired team will face China, and China is expected to advance to the final directly. In addition, in the upper half of the men's team, Indonesia and India have the opportunity to enter the semi-finals.
South Korea and Malaysia will meet in the first round, and the competition will be very fierce. The two teams are equal in strength. As the Thomas Cup champion, India has great hope to enter the semi-finals and compete with the China badminton team for the final championship.
