Defending champions China cruised into the Sudirman Cup knockout stage with a commanding 4-1 victory over Thailand on Wednesday! 🌟 The mixed doubles duo Feng Yanzhe and Wei Yaxin set the tone with a nail-biting 23-21, 21-11 win, while Li Shifeng delivered a heart-stopping men’s singles victory (21-18, 17-21, 21-13) after 85 minutes of edge-of-your-seat action. 🎉
Though women’s singles star Wang Zhiyi fell short in a dramatic three-set thriller against Thailand’s Intanon Ratchanok, she vowed to turn the loss into fuel: "I hope my failure becomes valuable experience." 💪
The team quickly bounced back, with Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang dominating men’s doubles (21-14, 21-14), followed by Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning’s swift 21-11, 21-8 win in women’s doubles. 🏅
