This is already the sixth official encounter between the two sides in an international competition, and the first five times were won by the "Fan Chen" combination. As the top seeded players of the competition, Chen Chenchen and Jia Yifan are superior to their teammates in terms of technical and tactical level, world ranking, and competition experience. The result of this competition is no exception. In the first game, Fan Chen played very smoothly, entering the technical interval with a score of 11-5, and then expanding the advantage to 18-10, easily taking the next city with a score of 21-14. In the second game that followed, the fighting between the two sides was more intense, and the difference in points did not widen. Even in the middle of the game, "Fan Chen" had a lead of only one point, but they still firmly controlled the initiative of the game, always suppressing Zhang Shuxian and Zheng Yu. The latter tried their best but could not reverse the score. 21-16, "Fanchen" won again and won 2-0 to advance to the finals.
Since partnering with Jia Yifan, Chen Chenchen has won the women's doubles championship at the Glasgow World Championships as early as 2017, but later failed to achieve consecutive championships. At the 2021 Welva World Championships in Spain, the two won the championship again after a four-year hiatus. At last year's Tokyo World Championships, "Fan Chen" defeated her old rival South Korean pair Kim Jae young/Kong Hee young 2-0 in the final, winning the women's doubles championship for the third time and successfully defending her title. In Copenhagen this time, Chen Chenchen and Jia Yifan have reached the women's doubles final of the World Championships for the third consecutive time, and they will launch an attack towards the unprecedented goal of winning three consecutive championships in the women's doubles world championship.
In the history of the Badminton World Championships, only the men's doubles team has ever won three consecutive championships, namely the famous "Fengyun" Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng combination of the Chinese badminton team. They have won three consecutive championships in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Even though the famous Indonesian legendary men's doubles duo Ashan/Setiawan have won five championships, they have not been able to achieve three consecutive championships. The mixed doubles and women's doubles events have never produced a triple world championship combination.
In the heroic history of Guoyu, famous women's doubles champions Guan Weizhen from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as Yu Yang from ten years ago, have won three World Championships in women's doubles. However, they all worked together with different teammates to win them, so they cannot be considered as a three time winning combination in women's doubles. Chen Chenchen and Jia Yifan have already won three women's doubles championships at the World Championships, but there is a gap of four years between their first and second championships, which means that the first two championships are not continuous and cannot be considered as three consecutive championships. And this time in Denmark, a historic opportunity appeared in front of the two, it depends on whether the two girls can seize it. Nowadays, the "Fanchen" combination is just one step away from making history and becoming the first women's doubles team to win three consecutive World Championships.
