2025 China Open
2025-07-22 - 2025-07-27 | Changzhou Olympic Sports Centre Xincheng Gymnasium, 1 Jinling North Road, Changzhou, Jiangsu, 213022, China
The 2025 China Open (also known as the Victor China Open 2025 for sponsorship reasons) was a badminton tournament held at the Changzhou Olympic Sports Centre Xincheng Gymnasium in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China, from July 22 to July 27, 2025. It was the 34th edition of the China Open championships, and part of the BWF World Tour Super 1000 tournaments on the 2025 BWF World Tour. This event featured a total prize fund of US$2,000,000.

The tournament saw all defending champions return, setting the stage for exciting early matchups. In the Men’s Singles, unseeded defending champion Weng Hongyang faced a challenging first-round draw against compatriot Shi Yuqi, a repeat of his unseeded status from the previous year. Shi Yuqi ultimately won that opening encounter. Women’s Singles defending champion Wang Zhiyi, seeded second, also successfully began her campaign against Taiwan’s Hsu Wen-chi, securing a first-round victory.
Last year’s sole non-Chinese champions in Men’s Doubles, Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin, entered this year’s edition as the top seeds. However, their title defense was unexpectedly cut short in the first round by Korea’s Kang Min-hyuk and Ki Dong-ju. The defending Women’s Doubles champions, Li Yijing and Luo Xumin, began their quest for a repeat title against USA’s Francesca Corbett and Jennie Gai, winning their opening match. Similarly, top seeds and defending Mixed Doubles champions Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping secured a victory in their opening match against Japan’s Yuichi Shimogami and Sayaka Hobara.
Korean stars An Se-young and the Men’s Doubles pair of Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae arrived in Changzhou fresh off their victories at the Japan Open 2025, with their sights set on a historic achievement. A win at the China Open would have made them the first players ever to sweep all four BWF World Tour Super 1000 tournaments in a single season.
However, the “Super Slam” aspirations for Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae were ultimately dashed in the semifinals. The newly paired Indonesian duo of Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri delivered a stunning upset, halting the Koreans’ impressive run. An Se-young’s pursuit of history also came to an unfortunate end when she retired during the second game of her semifinal match against China’s Han Yue.
Despite these setbacks for the Koreans, the host nation, China, enjoyed a highly successful tournament, securing four titles across various categories. The only exception was the Men’s Doubles, where China’s sole semifinal representative was defeated by the eventual champions, Indonesia’s Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri. This strong performance by China mirrored their achievement at last year’s event, where they also clinched four titles, with Men’s Doubles being the sole category they did not win. The Men’s Doubles championship marked a significant milestone for Indonesia, as it was the first Super 1000 title for the nation in 2025.
