The team that ranked first in each group in the group stage will advance directly to the round of 16,

They will face the winner of the match against Hungary (16th place).
Right next door, China will play the round of 16 against the winner of the match between Austria (23rd) and Thailand (18th).
If Korea and China win the round of 16, they will face each other in the quarterfinals.
The Korean women’s national team, led by coach Oh Kwang-heon,
is led by the ‘one-two punch’ of Shin Yu-bin (8th place, Korean Air) and Jeon Ji-hee (21st place, Mirae Asset Securities),
who together won the gold medal in women’s doubles at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year.
However, the gap between them and options 3 to 5, Eunhye Lee (66th, Korean Air),
Si-On Lee (46th, Samsung Life Insurance), and Hyobin Yoon (159th, Mirae Asset Securities),
is not small, so their power is uneven, which is a weakness.
On the other hand, China entered this tournament with the world’s strongest lineup,
including Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu,
ranked 1st to 4th in the singles world rankings, and Chen Tianyi ranked 7th.
