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. On this match day, Wang Zhiyi faced Japanese youngster Miyazaki Tomoka. 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. After the start of this tournament, both Wang Zhiyi and Miyazaki Tomoka encountered tenacious resistance from their opponents in the first round. Miyazaki Tomoka fought hard for three sets to eliminate Thai player Boonpiya, while Wang Zhiyi also went through…

On January 17th, during the women's singles quarterfinals of the World Badminton Federation India Open, Chinese player Wang Zhiyi faced off against Japanese player Miyazaki Tomoka. The first set started normally, with Wang Zhiyi leading 8-2. However, the situation changed dramatically as Miyazaki Tomoka caught up and eventually tied and overtook the score, winning the first set 21-16. Surprisingly, during the break between sets, Wang Zhiyi requested to withdraw from the match to the referee. It is worth noting that Wang Zhiyi is the sixth, sixth, and sixth Chinese player to withdraw from this India Open. In the first round, Chen Boyang/Liu Yi, Chinese badminton team players who won the men's doubles runner-up last week at the Malaysia Open, were playing against their teammates Xie Haonan/Zeng Weihan when they suddenly withdrew after the first set reached 4-6. In the previous round, Jia Yifan/Zhang Shuxian, who also won the women's doubles runner-up last week at the Malaysia Open, suddenly withdrew during their match against the Thai pair Chen Kangle/Tina when the first set reached 4-14. Similarly, in the first round, Hong Kong, China player Lo Shuen Yan withdrew after finishing the first set of her match against Japanese player Ninomiya Natsuki. This means that the rumors of a "withdrawal wave" among Chinese players at the India Open have been confirmed. Within four days, six players from one country have withdrawn, which is quite astonishing. Withdrawing one or two players may be accidental, but if six players withdraw, there must be a certain inevitability. According to relevant reports, the water that flows…

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.

2-1! Danish Star Struggles for Victory, Wang Zhiyi Claims Third Consecutive Win, Advances to Quarterfinals Wang Zhiyi, who won the women's singles title at the year-end finals in 2024, performed well in the first world event of the new season, the Malaysia Open, reaching the women's singles final. Unfortunately, she lost to world No. 1 An Se-young in the top match. This week, Wang Zhiyi followed the national team again to face the challenge of the Super 750 event, the India Open. On the third day of the main event, Wang Zhiyi faced Danish star Mia in the round of 16. After the game started, Mia played aggressively and proactively, stubbornly leveling the big score after losing the first set, avoiding being swept three times in a row. However, Wang Zhiyi, who is stronger in strength, still won with a score of 2-1. Game Highlights With outstanding performance and record, Wang Zhiyi has improved her world ranking to second place, while Mia is now ranked only 23rd. Wang Zhiyi has an obvious advantage in personal ability, which can be seen from their past encounter records in world competitions. In two encounters in world competitions, Wang Zhiyi always won with a clean 2-0 score, and the longest game took only 42 minutes, showing a relatively large gap in strength. However, Mia also had her own advantages in this game, that is, physical fitness. Wang Zhiyi played until the final in Malaysia last week, and also played three full rounds against Zhang Bewen in the first round of this station, barely passing…

The Chinese national badminton team is set to compete with a total of 30 players in the upcoming 2025 India Open. The team faces a challenging draw, with both the men's singles and doubles categories seeing their players clustered in one half of the bracket. Notably, all four pairs of the men's doubles are placed in the lower half, with some facing each other in the first round, which is considered an unfavorable draw. In the men's singles category, five players will represent China. Top seed Shi Yuqi is in the 1/4 section and will face French rising star Laniere in the first round. Li Shifeng and Weng Hongyang are also in the 1/4 section, with Li Shifeng playing against Liang Junhao and Weng Hongyang against Lakshya Sen. If both manage to win their first-round matches, they will face each other in the second round, with the winner likely to compete against Shi Yuqi for a spot in the semifinals. Shi Yuqi recently won the men's singles title at the Malaysia Open and is in top form, making him the favorite to advance from the 1/4 section. Lu Guangzu is in the 2/4 section and will play against Gintoki in the first round, potentially facing the 4th seed Kunlavut if he progresses. Lei Lanxi is in the 4/4 section and will face French player Popov Jr., with the 2nd seed Jonathan as his potential opponent in the same section, making it a tough challenge to break through.

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…

The Chinese national badminton team has performed exceptionally well, not only excelling in multiple events but also securing 10 spots in the quarterfinals, demonstrating their strong overall strength.

Han Yue triumphed over Indian player Malvika Bansod by relying on her excellent defense and counter-attacking abilities. On the other hand, fellow women's singles player Gao Fangjie was unable to maintain her luck, facing difficulties against Singaporean player Yeo Jia Min and unfortunately exiting the competition with a 0-2 loss. This defeat exposed Gao Fangjie's shortcomings in speed and court rhythm control, areas that require further improvement. In men's singles, Li Shifeng and Shi Yuqi emerged as highlights for the Chinese team. Li Shifeng demonstrated remarkable tenacity when facing his tough opponent Prannoy, ultimately edging out his opponent with a narrow victory after a grueling three-set battle. He repeatedly roared to encourage himself at crucial moments in the deciding set, which…
