The Super 300 Series 2025 Chinese Taipei Badminton Open came to a successful conclusion a few days ago, which also made the famous British anchor "Ke Ma" Clarke feel: "Is there anyone like me, who misses the charming Tai Tzu Ying so much?" ”
Taiwan, China, "Dr. Dai" Dai Tzuying
Chinese Taipei's Super 300 Taipei Open badminton titles won the Men's Doubles and Women's Doubles, with Wang Chi-lin/Chiu Xiang-yu winning their first title since their co-production last year, and Hsieh Pei-shan/Hong En-chi becoming the first women's doubles pair to host Taipei since Chien Yu-jin/Cheng Wen-hsin in 2008. Clark pointed out that all three doubles titles at Taipei were won by the "one left and one right" pair, writing the fourth time in history, the first three being the 2019 Hong Kong Open, the 2024 Malaysia Masters and the US Open.
Singapore's Loh Kean Yew defeated Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien Cheng to win the men's singles title in Taipei, becoming the first Singaporean player in tournament history to win the championship (in any event). Clark believes that although Zhou Tiancheng missed the fifth crown, he has reached the finals of the Taipei Championship 7 times and won 4 crowns, and the record of reaching the single final for 15 consecutive years is still very amazing.
Japan's 18-year-old Japanese rising star Yuka Miyazaki retired from Thailand's Opanipu and became the second youngest women's singles player to win the tournament in Taipei after Taiwan's "Dr. Dai" Tai Tzu Ying.
Clark concluded the article by exclaiming: "Despite all the wonderful and surprising performances at this Taipei Open, I really can't help but ask: 'Is there anyone like me who misses that charming Tai Tzu Ying?' ”
Tai Tzu Ying made her Taipei Open debut in 2009 with a qualifying exit, and then won her first title in 2012, followed by five titles in 2016, '18, '22 and '23, making her the most ever in tournament history and the first player to win five titles in a specific event since the Super Series, BWF Grand Prix and World Tour era. 2024 will be the last time Tai Tzu Ying will participate in the Taipei Open Badminton Championships, when she stopped in the top 8 of the women's singles and failed to achieve the feat of three consecutive women's singles titles.
