Pre-match predictions
In the men’s doubles final, Lin Shidong/Huang Youzheng have a 70% chance of winning the title. Congratulations to Lin Shidong on his mixed doubles victory; competing on three fronts is exhausting.
The Chinese women’s singles players have already secured all four semifinal spots, guaranteeing the championship and runner-up positions. The key highlights are whether Sun Yingsha can defeat Chen Yi and whether Wang Manyu can overcome Shi Xunyao.
Lin Shidong has a 60% chance to beat Simon Gauzy in the men’s singles semifinal, especially since Gauzy defeated Hugo last night, showing strong form.
In the women’s doubles final, Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu have a 99% chance of winning. However, their opponents Hina Hayata and Satsuki Odo are very skilled, so they must avoid any unexpected upsets.
