Finally broke through the curse of the top 16 this season, and Lin Yu deserved to reach the top 8 of the 2025 Taipei Open Badminton Championships

Finally break the curse of this season's round of 16! Chinese Taipei Men's Doubles Wang Chi Lin/Qiu Xiang Yu defeated teammates Chen Zhengkuan/Chen Ziyi 21:19, 21:7 at the Super 300 Series 2025 Taipei Open Badminton Championships on the 8th, and advanced to the top 8 for the first time this season. Due to the early retirement of the first seeds Li Zhehui/Yang Boxuan, the third seeds Yang Bohan/Liu Guangheng also withdrew in the first round due to injury, the fourth seeds Li Fangren/Li Fangzhi were defeated in the first round, and the top four seeds were only second seeds Wang Qilin/Qiu Xiangyu.

Wang Qilin/Qiu Xiangyu

Wang Qilin/Qiu Xiangyu have never reached the top 8 this season, and every time they advance to the round of 16, they end up losing, and Wang Qilin revealed that it seems that the standard has been put on the fact that it is enough to advance to the round of 16. It is precisely because they want to break through this level that Wang Qilin/Qiu Xiangyu have thought hard about many ways to solve it, but in this game, they met a junior who is also Tuyin, and the ball path is very familiar but also more stressful. Wang Qilin said frankly that this battle affected his performance due to pressure, but fortunately, Qiu Xiangyu carried it, and the killing ball was even more difficult for the opponent to parry.

In addition, Wang Qilin actually teamed up with Li Yang in 2023 and 2024, but they both stopped in the round of 16 in Taipei, and now they can finally play until Friday's game, and Lin Yu's opponent on the 9th will be another pair of Taipei pairs Wei Junwei/Lu Jingyao.
