Zhou Tiancheng reversed Li Shifeng and made an appointment with Kunlavut in the men's singles semifinals of the 2025 Indonesia Open Badminton Championships

World No. 7 Chinese Taipei brother Chou Tien Cheng reversed world No. 4 Chinese star Li Shifeng 14:21, 21:13, 21:17 at the 2025 Indonesia Open Badminton Championships on the 6th and reached the semifinals. On the 7th, Zhou Tiancheng will challenge the new world No. 1 Kunlavut in the men's singles semifinals.

Chinese Taipei's first brother Chou Tien Cheng, ranked 7th in the world

Zhou Tiancheng has a good career at the Snayan Memorial Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia, won the silver medal here at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, won the Indonesia Open the following year, and became the first Chinese Taipei men's singles player to win the 1000-level competition, and now after the 2022 All England Open, he once again ranks among the top 4 of the 1000-level competition.

Chou Tien Cheng was 35 years old and 149 days on the 6th, becoming the second oldest men's singles player in history to advance to the top 4 of the 1000 level, and the oldest record in history is Malaysian "Dato" Lee Chong Wei, who reached the top 4 of the Indonesian tournament in 2018, when he was 35 years old and 258 days, which highlights how valuable Zhou Tien Cheng's victory yesterday was.

Kunlavut won the Singapore Open last week and squeezed out China's Shi Yuqi to become the second-youngest world champion in history at the age of 24 years and 23 days. Although Chou Tien Cheng has won 2 of his 4 matches against Kunlavut in his career, he has lost the last two matches, and he will challenge the new king with a challenger mentality today.
