The first round of the Badminton World Federation Professional Tour India Station (Super 750) has concluded, with the national team delivering an impressive performance, achieving a record of 14 wins and 3 losses (including one internal match). In the women's singles, Wang Zhiyi faced off against American-born veteran Zhang Beiwen. Zhang's skills are delicate, and her three main techniques remain sharp; however, Wang Zhiyi had a greater advantage in terms of physical endurance. Ultimately, Wang Zhiyi staged a comeback after losing the first game, winning with scores of 14:21, 21:15, and 21:16. Han Yue also faced a similar situation against local player Malvika, turning the tables with scores of 20:22, 21:16, and 21:11. The men's doubles matches were thrilling. Liang Wang, who did not play recklessly, still proved competitive, battling through three tough sets to overcome the Malaysian pair Zhang Wang. Similarly, Ren Yi also engaged in a three-set battle, defeating the Danish second pair. Chen Liu, who finished as runner-up at the Malaysia Station, withdrew from the competition, allowing his teammate Xie Zeng to advance without a match. Both external defeats in the men's singles came from the men's singles event. Lei Lanxi faced France's Popov but was unable to find a way to counter him, surrendering the match with scores of 15:21 and 18:21. Li Shifeng was eliminated the day before by Malaysia's Liang Junhao. It seems that after Shi Tou's withdrawal, the men's singles has become the most unstable event.

In last week's Malaysia Badminton Open, although all five major events of the national team had players reach the finals, only Shi Yuchi won the championship trophy. This week, the national team's soldiers have embarked on the Super 750 event, the Indian Open. The third seed in the women's singles, Han Yue, welcomed her first appearance at this event on the second day of the main draw, facing off against the host country's player Malvika. In this match, Malvika, who held the home court advantage, posed a significant challenge to Han Yue. Fortunately, in the decisive game, Han Yue took advantage of her physical fitness and quickly gained the lead, eventually winning 2-1 and advancing to the women's singles round of 16! [Match History] Born in 2001, Malvika is currently ranked 27th in the world. Her personal style of play is very distinctive. Due to her height of only 1.6 meters, her speed and connection rate on the court are her advantages, and her proactive attacks also have strong aggressiveness, with a certain impact. Moreover, in previous world championships, Malvika has faced Han Yue three times, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, putting her at a disadvantage. Their most recent encounter was in last week's Malaysia Open, where Han Yue eliminated Malvika in the women's singles round of 1/8 in just 37 minutes with a big score of 2-0, showing that Han Yue has a clear advantage in terms of individual strength.

The first Super 1000-level event of 2025, the Malaysia Open Badminton Championships, has entered the fourth day of the main draw competition, with the top eight in all five events already determined. In the women's singles arena, Wang Zhiyi and Han Yue have advanced together. On this matchday, the second-seeded Wang Zhiyi took the lead, facing off against Singapore's seventh-seeded Yang Jiayin. Despite Yang Jiayin's excellent form throughout the game, she was unable to avoid a 0-2 defeat. Yang Jiayin is currently ranked 12th in the world and advanced by eliminating another Chinese female player, Gao Fangjie, in the previous round. However, compared to top female singles players, Yang Jiayin still has some gaps in terms of strength. She has faced Wang Zhiyi five times in the past, all ending in defeat. This was also the reason why fans favored Wang Zhiyi to avenge Gao Fangjie's loss before the match. In the first game, Wang Zhiyi started slowly, making several judgment errors at the beginning, allowing Yang Jiayin to seize the opportunity and establish a 4-2 lead in the opening stages. Although Wang Zhiyi quickly leveled the score through her signature drop-shot and smash combination, continuous judgment errors on Yang Jiayin's out-of-bounds shots allowed her opponent to take an 8-5 lead. Fortunately, Wang Zhiyi improved her state again, playing more patiently on the court, using high-quality net control and retreating in time, then launching attacks from midfield, slashing back and forth on both sides, leaving Yang Jiayin helpless. After exerting her offensive threat, Wang Zhiyi also overtook the score 11-10…
