World No. 3 Akane Yamaguchi's best result this season is the All England and the semi-finals of last week's Malaysia Masters, while Song Shuoyun's best result this year is the semi-finals of the Indonesia Masters, and the two sides have met once in their careers, but it has to be traced back to the 2023 Asian Championships, when Song Shuoyun swallowed up in straight games.

In the face of the excellent running ability and experienced Akane Yamaguchi, Song Shuoyun was pulled away not long after the start of the game, and entered a technical timeout with 4:11, relying on the attack to score sporadically in the middle, it was really difficult to close the gap, and finally conceded 13:21, Song Shuoyun was still difficult to break through in the second game, and after some hard work, she lost 14:21 and stopped in the top 16 of women's singles.

Song Shuoyun is a two-front attack in Singapore, and she and Yu Qianhui are currently ranked 15th in the women's doubles world, but this time they were eliminated in the first round. In Men's Doubles, Chinese Taipei's Wang Chi Lin/Qiu Xiang Yu lost 12:21, 15:21 to China's fourth seeds Wang Chang/Liang Wei Keng, ending in the round of 16.
