The Mascate station seamlessly followed the previous Doha station, with a lower level, dropping from 600 points to 400 points. The Chinese team continued to focus on training young players, not arranging any main force players to participate, and even without Qian Tianyi and He Zhuojia.

Many top players from other associations participated, such as Tomokazu Harimoto and Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the men's singles, and Sara Toda, Miu Hirano, and Manika Batra in the women's singles. In the men's singles, four Chinese players competed, with Xu Yingbin, Xiang Peng, and Huang Youzheng all losing in foreign matches. Among them, Xiang Peng was eliminated by the 16-year-old Guo Guanhong, performing unsatisfactorily and indirectly causing him to lose the opportunity to participate in the Asian Cup. The 19-year-old sensation Chen Yuanyu seized this opportunity, facing the formidable German veteran Dimitrij Ovtcharov. Chen Yuanyu overcame difficulties and pressure, defeating many strong opponents along the way to advance to…

Recently, multiple news from the CBA has caught the attention of fans. First, Beijing's Zhou Qi was disqualified during a game for insulting the referee. This improper behavior has drawn wide attention and resulted in him facing a one-game suspension. As a professional player, Zhou Qi should be aware of the impact of his actions on the game and the team. It is hoped that he can learn from this incident and face future games with a more mature and professional attitude! Additionally, Diallo of Shanxi has confirmed his temporary departure from the team due to family reasons. This is undoubtedly a significant blow to Shanxi, as Diallo is a capable player whose absence will affect the team's lineup and tactical arrangements. However, it is reported that Diallo will return during the window period cup, which will undoubtedly give Shanxi a boost. We look forward to him continuing to contribute to the team after his return. Last night against Ningbo, Liaoning's management expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of their big foreign aid, Patton, and are considering cutting him to continue searching for a new big foreign aid. This decision reflects Liaoning's high standards and strict requirements for their team lineup. As a championship-contending team, Liaoning needs to ensure that every player performs at their best. Therefore, they have chosen to cut Patton, who did not perform well, and continue to search for a more suitable big foreign aid to achieve better results in future games! Conclusion: These events remind us once again that competition in the CBA is becoming increasingly…

In the first major event of the 2025 world badminton season, the Malaysia Open, Wang Zhiyi performed well in the women's singles competition, overcoming strong opponents to reach the final. Unfortunately, she lost to South Korean prodigy An Se-young and had to settle for the runner-up position. This week, Wang Zhiyi embarked on the Super 750 India Open with the national team.

After the start of the game, Wang Zhiyi was in good form but gradually lost control of the rhythm, allowing Miyazaki to reverse and win the first set. Subsequently, due to leg discomfort, Wang Zhiyi could not continue and chose to withdraw from the match, ending the run of the second seed early! Born in 2006, Miyazaki Tomoka is a rising star in women's singles that Japan is currently focusing on cultivating. Although she is young, her latest world ranking has reached No. 11, and her personal strength cannot be underestimated. However, in terms of immediate combat effectiveness, there is still a gap compared to Wang Zhiyi, who is ranked second in the world. This can also be seen from their past head-to-head records. In last season's China Badminton Open, Wang Zhiyi defeated Miyazaki Tomoka in straight sets in the final, lifting the women's singles championship trophy.
