2025 Japan Open
2025-07-15 - 2025-07-20 | Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, 1 Chome-17-1 Sendagaya, Shibuya, Tokyo, 151-0051, Japan
The 2025 Japan Open (also known as the Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 Badminton Championships for sponsorship reasons) was a badminton tournament held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan, from July 15 to July 20, 2025. It was the 42nd edition of the Japan Open championships, and part of the BWF World Tour Super 750 tournaments on the 2025 BWF World Tour. This event featured a total prize fund of US$950,000.
The 2025 Japan Open marked a notable first in the World Tour era: for the first time, no Japanese representative reached the final across any discipline.

Akane Yamaguchi, the defending women’s singles champion, fell short of reaching the final, defeated in the semifinals by China’s Wang Zhiyi.
In the men’s singles, defending champion Alex Lanier was unable to retain his title, losing in the final to Shi Yuqi of China – the very opponent he had bested in last year’s Japan Open semifinals.
Both the defending women’s doubles and mixed doubles champions successfully retained their titles.
This year’s Japan Open saw a concentrated distribution of titles, with only two nations claiming victory: China dominated the Men’s Singles, Women’s Doubles, and Mixed Doubles, while South Korea secured the Women’s Singles and Men’s Doubles. This contrasts sharply with last year’s event, where titles were shared among four different countries, including the host nation.

The sight of many empty seats inside the final match arena was hard to ignore. It prompts us to consider whether this indicates a downturn in badminton’s Japanese following, or if it’s a direct result of there being no Japanese representatives vying for the ultimate prize – a factor that often significantly impacts local spectator turnout.

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.

Men’s Singles

🇨🇳 Shi Yuqi defeated 🇹🇭 Kunlavut Vitidsarn, 19-21, 21-10, 21-18

In a stunning reversal of fortune, China’s Shi Yuqi battled back to claim the 2025 BWF World Championships title, dethroning Thailand’s defending champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn in a gritty three-game final. The match seemed to be slipping away after Shi Yuqi fumbled a commanding first-game lead, allowing Vitidsarn to seize the opener. Refusing to capitulate, Shi Yuqi mounted a spectacular comeback, unleashing a dominant performance in the second game and edging a tense decider to secure a 19-21, 21-10, 21-18 victory. This hard-fought win ended a ten-year drought for China in men’s singles, elevating Shi Yuqi to the status of their first world champion since the legendary Chen Long won in 2015.

Women’s Singles

🇯🇵 Akane Yamaguchi defeated 🇨🇳 Chen Yufei, 21-9, 21-13

With a powerful performance in Paris, Akane Yamaguchi has joined an exceedingly elite club. The Japanese star has been crowned women’s singles world champion for a third time, a feat only previously accomplished by Spain’s Carolina Marín. Yamaguchi’s incredible journey to a triple crown began with her first title in Huelva (2021), was successfully defended on home soil in Tokyo (2022), and was ultimately completed with a historic third win in Paris (2025), solidifying her legacy as one of the most successful players of her generation.

Men’s Doubles

🇰🇷 Kim Won-ho / 🇰🇷 Seo Seung-jae defeated 🇨🇳 Chen Boyang / 🇨🇳 Liu Yi, 21-17, 21-12

Seo Seung-jae captured his third World Championships title and successfully defended the men’s doubles crown with new partner Kim Won-ho, who claimed his first. The victory was South Korea’s sixth in the event, solidifying their position as the third-most successful nation behind Indonesia (10 titles) and China (8).

Women’s Doubles

🇨🇳 Liu Shengshu / 🇨🇳 Tan Ning defeated 🇲🇾 Pearly Tan / 🇲🇾 Thinaah Muralitharan, 21-14, 20-22, 21-17

Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning’s victory secured China’s fourth consecutive women’s doubles title at the World Championships, continuing the nation’s historic dominance in the discipline. The win was China’s 24th overall in the category, a number that vastly eclipsed the totals of all other nations. Since the tournament’s inception, only three other countries had ever won the title: Japan (three titles), England, and South Korea (with one title each).

Mixed Doubles

🇲🇾 Chen Tang Jie / 🇲🇾 Toh Ee Wei defeated 🇨🇳 Jiang Zhenbang / 🇨🇳 Wei Yaxin, 21-15, 21-14

Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei made history by becoming Malaysia’s first-ever mixed doubles gold medallists at the BWF World Championships. This achievement makes them only the second Malaysian pair to win a world title, after men’s doubles duo Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik achieved the feat in 2022.

Defending Champions

This year’s tournament saw significant changes and unexpected outcomes across all events. While the defending singles champions were set to return, none successfully defended their titles, and the new doubles pairings faced mixed results.

In women’s singles, An Se-young could not defend her title after being defeated in the semifinals by Olympic champion Chen Yufei (21-15, 21-17). Chen Yufei advanced to the final but was ultimately defeated by two-time champion Akane Yamaguchi.

In men’s singles, defending champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand reached the final but was defeated by China’s Shi Yuqi in a thrilling three-game match.

The doubles events lived up to their billing with significant changes. In men’s doubles, Seo Seung-jae successfully defended his title with his new partner, Kim Won-ho. The formidable Korean duo, who had already claimed three of this year’s four Super 1000 titles, defeated the Chinese pair of Chen Boyang and Liu Yi in the final. Notably, Kang Min-hyuk and his current partner Ki Dong-ju did not qualify for the championship.

For women’s doubles, the defending champion Jia Yifan and her new partner Zhang Shuxian failed to defend their title after being stopped in the quarterfinals by their compatriots and the eventual champions, Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning. Chen Qingchen and her new partner unfortunately did not qualify for the event.

In mixed doubles, defending champion Seo Seung-jae chose to focus solely on men’s doubles. His former partner, Chae Yu-jung, paired with Lee Jong-min but their campaign was short-lived; they were beaten in the early rounds.

Tournament Highlights

A Disappointing End to Lee Zii Jia’s Comeback

This year’s tournament carried an extra layer of anticipation, particularly for Malaysian fans, as it was expected to mark the long-awaited return of men’s singles star Lee Zii Jia. Following his participation in the All England Open in March, Lee was sidelined due to a recurring ankle injury, which had limited his competitive play for a significant part of the year. This injury forced him to withdraw from several major tournaments, raising concerns about his form and readiness. After months of intensive rehabilitation and training, the 2021 All England champion was poised to make his comeback on the world stage.

His return was more than just a personal milestone; it was a pivotal moment for Malaysia’s men’s singles hopes. Despite a challenging year and a drop in his world ranking, Lee secured his spot in the championships through a protected ranking from the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The tournament draw had placed him on a challenging path, with a tough first-round opponent, but he was widely expected to advance.

Unfortunately, Lee’s comeback was cut short in a disappointing first-round upset against South Korea’s Jeon Hyeok-jin (17-21, 11-21). The loss meant that Lee’s dream of securing his first-ever World Championships medal was once again put on hold. The tournament’s early rounds also saw another major upset, with fourth seed Li Shifeng of China, who was expected to face Lee in the second round, also losing in his opening match. Li was defeated by Japan’s Yushi Tanaka in three games (21-19, 11-21, 15-21).

Indonesia’s Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, who recently returned to the court, also suffered a tough early-round defeat to France’s 15th seed, Toma Junior Popov. The match went to a nail-biting three games, with Ginting ultimately falling to the home favorite with a score of 18-21, 21-19, 23-25. This marks Ginting’s third consecutive first-round loss since his comeback at the Japan Open.

In the women’s singles draw, former world champion and three-time world junior champion Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand was also eliminated in the first round. The 10th seeded player was defeated by Vietnam’s Nguyễn Thùy Linh in a two-game sweep, 17-21, 18-21. This unexpected loss makes Intanon the first seeded women’s singles player to be knocked out of the tournament.

Christiansen and Bøje Stun World No. 1s

Mathias Christiansen and Alexandra Bøje were back with a bang. The Danish mixed doubles pair, who had recently returned to the court after a year-long ban for Christiansen, sent shockwaves through the badminton world once again. In a thrilling three-game second-round match, they had defeated the world number one and top-seeded Chinese pair, Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping.

After dropping the first game 21-14, Christiansen and Bøje dug deep, showcasing their remarkable comeback form. They powered through the next two games, winning 21-13, 21-18 to clinch the stunning victory. This win at the World Championships had marked just their second tournament appearance of 2025, proving their form was as sharp as ever.

However, the Danish pair’s spirited run at the tournament came to an end in the third round. They were defeated by the Chinese duo of Cheng Xing and Zhang Chi, who ended their campaign in two straight games. The final score of the match was a tight 21-23, 12-21, bringing an end to what was a memorable and surprising run for Christiansen and Bøje in Paris.

Debutants Lai and Farhan Stun Seeds

The third day of the BWF World Championships saw two promising debutants make a major impact by ousting seeded opponents. Victor Lai of Canada and Alwi Farhan of Indonesia both secured impressive victories, setting up challenging third-round matchups.

Lai, who was the runner-up at the Canada Open last July, delivered a remarkable performance by defeating China’s 11th-seeded Lu Guangzu. Lai continued his remarkable run at the World Championships, securing his spot in the quarter-finals with a straight-games victory over South Korea’s Jeon Hyeok-jin. The victory marked a significant milestone for the young Canadian.

Lai, a debutant at this year’s championships, defeated Jeon 21-17, 21-13, a significant win considering Jeon was the player who had eliminated Malaysian star Lee Zii Jia in the opening round.

The Canadian’s impressive journey led him to a much-anticipated showdown with Singapore’s Loh Kean Yew, the 2021 world champion. In a stunning upset, Lai defeated Loh 22-20, 21-18 to advance to the semi-finals. This victory guarantees Lai at least a bronze medal, securing the first-ever medal for Canada in the history of the BWF World Championships.

Similarly, Indonesia’s Farhan, fresh off a Macau Open title in early August, continued his stellar form by upsetting Taiwan’s twelfth-seeded Lin Chun-yi. This set up a thrilling third-round clash with defending world champion, Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn. In a nail-biting three-game marathon, Farhan pushed the champion to the absolute limit before narrowly conceding defeat, 18-21, 21-18, 20-22.

Loh’s Stunning Comeback

Main article: Loh Kean Yew vs Naraoka Result: Singaporean Advances to Quarterfinals in Paris

In a stunning comeback, Singapore’s Loh Kean Yew advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2025 BWF World Championships, defeating Japan’s Kodai Naraoka 5–21, 21–19, 21–19. The victory extends Loh’s perfect record against Naraoka to 7-0.

Naraoka dominated the first game, winning 21–5 in just 11 minutes. However, Loh fought back in the second, taking it 21–19 to force a decider. Despite trailing 11–7 in the third game, the 2021 world champion mounted another comeback, sealing a nail-biting 21–19 victory with a triumphant roar. The win reinforces Loh’s reputation as a resilient competitor on the big stage.

Sindhu Eyes Sixth World Championships Medal

Indian badminton superstar P. V. Sindhu has reignited her campaign at the 2025 BWF World Championships with a sensational victory over China’s top women’s singles player and second seed, Wang Zhiyi. In a remarkable upset, Sindhu defeated the medal favorite in two straight games, 21-19, 21-15, sending a strong message to the rest of the field.

The victory is particularly significant given the contrasting forms of the two athletes in 2025. Wang Zhiyi has been in exceptional form on the BWF World Tour this year, reaching seven finals and capturing two gold medals, establishing herself as a formidable force. In contrast, Sindhu has struggled to find her rhythm, failing to secure a podium finish in any tournament this season. Her impressive win against such a dominant player is not only a massive boost of confidence but also signals a powerful return to form on the world’s biggest stage.

Unfortunately, Sindhu’s campaign at the 2025 BWF World Championships came to an end in the quarter-finals after a hard-fought battle against Indonesia’s Putri Kusuma Wardani. In a tense three-game thriller, Sindhu was defeated with a scoreline of 14-21, 21-13, 16-21.

This result marks a historic achievement for Wardani, who becomes the first Indonesian women’s singles player to win a medal at the BWF World Championships since 2015. She will now advance to the semi-finals guaranteed of at least a bronze.

While Sindhu’s quest for a historic sixth World Championships medal has ended, her impressive victory over a dominant Wang Zhiyi served as a massive boost of confidence and a reminder of her prowess on the sport’s biggest stage.

Malaysian and French Pairs Make History

Main article: Malaysian and French Pairs Make History, Set for Semifinal Clash at World C’ships

Malaysia’s Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei and France’s Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue made history by advancing to the semifinals of the 2025 BWF World Championships, each securing a landmark medal for their country.

Chen and Toh ended a 19-year medal drought for Malaysia in mixed doubles, becoming only the second pair in the nation’s history to achieve this feat. They follow in the footsteps of Koo Kien Keat and Wong Pei Tty, who were semifinalists in 2006 when the sport’s governing body was still known as the International Badminton Federation (IBF).

From the host nation, Gicquel and Delrue secured France’s first World Championships medal since 2009. This historic win marks only the second medal ever for France in the tournament’s history, the first being a women’s singles bronze won by Pi Hongyan.

The two history-making pairs are now set to face each other in a highly anticipated semifinal match. This will be the first-ever World Championships semifinal for both duos. The winner will advance to the final to face one of the two Chinese pairs who are competing in the other all-China semifinal.

Pearly Tan/Thinaah Muralitharan Secure Historic Medal

Main article: Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan Make History at BWF World Championships, Advance to Finals

Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan have made history, becoming the first Malaysian women’s doubles pair to win a medal at the BWF World Championships. The No. 2 seeds fought back from a game down to beat Japan’s No. 3 seeds, Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida, in a thrilling semifinal clash today (August 30).

After dropping the first game 21-14, the Malaysian duo showed incredible resilience, dominating the next two games with convincing wins of 21-13 and 21-12. This remarkable victory follows their strong quarterfinal performance, where they defeated Bulgaria’s Stoeva sisters 21-15, 21-10. Tan and Muralitharan now advance to the final to face either a Japanese or Chinese pair.

Host City Selection

Paris was officially awarded the hosting rights for the 2025 BWF World Championships in November 2018. The selection was part of a larger announcement by the BWF, unveiling 18 major badminton event hosts spanning from 2019 to 2025, aimed at providing long-term certainty for event organizers and participants. The Adidas Arena, a new multi-purpose indoor arena inaugurated for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, was chosen as the venue, offering a state-of-the-art setting for the championship.

Competition Format

The 2025 BWF World Championships featured five traditional disciplines: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. The tournament followed a straight knockout format, where losing a match results in elimination. All matches were played as the best of three games, with each game contested to 21 points. A player or pair must win by at least two points, unless the score reaches 29-29, in which case the first to reach 30 points wins the game.

Seeded Players and Teams

Men’s Singles

This year’s championship was a historic one for the host nation, as it marked the first time ever that France had three seeded players in the men’s singles category. The trio of French shuttlers consisted of Alex Lanier (seeded 7th), Christo Popov (seeded 10th), and Toma Junior Popov (seeded 15th), showcasing the country’s growing strength and a new era for French badminton on the global stage. However, the home crowd’s hopes were dashed in the third round, as all three Frenchmen were eliminated from the tournament.

By claiming the 2025 World Championship title in Paris, Akane Yamaguchi became the second women’s singles player ever to win three gold medals at the tournament.

She previously achieved this feat with back-to-back victories in 2021 (Huelva) and 2022 (Tokyo), demonstrating a prolonged reign at the pinnacle of the sport.

2025 BWF World Senior Championships
2025-09-07 - 2025-09-14 | Eastern National Sports Training Center, Chaiyaphruek 2 Rd, Pattaya City, Chon Buri, 20150, Thailand
The 2025 BWF World Senior Championships (also known as the Amazing Thailand-Pattaya BWF World Senior Championships 2025 for sponsorship reasons) is an upcoming international badminton tournament sanctioned by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). This prestigious event is specifically designed for badminton players aged 35 and older, providing a platform for senior athletes to compete for world titles in various age categories.

In a surprising turn of events for badminton fans, Indonesian legend Hendra Setiawan is set to make a return to the court at the BWF World Senior Championships 2025. The four-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist, who officially stepped away from the BWF World Tour circuit with his longtime partner Mohammad Ahsan, known affectionately as “The Daddies,” will be competing in two categories. Setiawan will play in the men’s doubles with fellow Indonesian-turned-American badminton great Tony Gunawan, a former Olympic and World Champion himself. He will also be partnering with former Indonesian mixed doubles star Debby Susanto in the mixed doubles event.

Host City and Venue
The 12th edition of the BWF World Senior Championships will be held in Pattaya, Chonburi Province, Thailand. The primary competition venue will be the Eastern National Sports Training Centre. Pattaya was chosen after a new bidding process was initiated by the BWF in June 2024, following the withdrawal of the initially awarded host city, Auckland, New Zealand.
Dates
The tournament is scheduled to take place from Sunday, September 7, to Sunday, September 14, 2025.
Competition Format
The championships will feature individual events across various age groups, encompassing:

Men’s Singles (MS)
Women’s Singles (WS)
Men’s Doubles (MD)
Women’s Doubles (WD)
Mixed Doubles (XD)

The age categories typically include 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+, and 80+. Players must have reached the relevant age by January 1st of the tournament year to be eligible for a particular category. Each member association is generally entitled to enter a maximum of four men and four women in singles events, eight men and eight women in doubles events, and four mixed doubles pairs per age group. A player cannot compete in more than one singles, one doubles, and one mixed doubles event across all eligible age groups.
Matches where the number of entries exceeds 16 are typically played in a knockout format. For events with 16 or fewer entries, a league format may be implemented.

2025 Hong Kong Open
2025-09-09 - 2025-09-14 | Hong Kong Coliseum, 9 Cheong Wan Rd, Hung Hom Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong
The 2025 Hong Kong Open (also known as the Li-Ning Hong Kong Open 2025 for sponsorship reasons) was a badminton tournament held at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Kowloon, Hong Kong, from September 9 to September 14, 2025. It was the 35th edition of the Hong Kong Open championships, and part of the BWF World Tour Super 500 tournaments on the 2025 BWF World Tour. This event featured a total prize fund of US$500,000.[mfn]“2025 Hong Kong Open Prospectus”. BWF Corporate. Retrieved 30 August 2025.[/mfn]
The 2025 Hong Kong Open was awarded the prestigious “M” Mark by Hong Kong’s Major Sports Events Committee. This designation recognized the tournament’s potential to deliver top-tier sports and economic benefits to the city. The tournament received enhanced government support. The “M” Mark aimed to develop world-class events that would boost tourism, stimulate local business, and solidify Hong Kong’s reputation as a hub for major international sports. The committee stated the championships would feature Olympic medalists and world-ranked players, attracting overseas fans and providing a significant boost to local hospitality and retail sectors.[mfn]“Hong Kong Badminton Open 2025 awarded prestigious “M” Mark status”. The Standard. Retrieved 4 September 2025.[/mfn]
A Tale of Two Comebacks
The opening rounds of the 2025 Hong Kong Open were defined by stunning upsets and the continued struggles of returning champions, as both Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia and Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen saw their comeback bids end prematurely.
In an all-Malaysian clash that signaled a potential changing of the guard, world No. 23 Leong Jun Hao delivered a commanding performance to defeat his more illustrious compatriot, Lee Zii Jia, 21-16, 21-16. The 40-minute victory was a landmark achievement for Leong, marking his first win over the former world No. 2 in four attempts. For Zii Jia, the loss extends a deeply frustrating run as he continues to search for form and confidence following a lengthy injury layoff that has seen his real-time ranking plummet to No. 47.
The shockwaves continued moments later as Japan’s Kodai Naraoka emphatically showed defending champion Viktor Axelsen the door. Playing his first competitive match in six months following back surgery, and further hampered by a fever the previous week, Axelsen was uncharacteristically off-pace. Naraoka capitalized ruthlessly, securing a decisive 21-15, 21-7 victory in just 37 minutes. Despite the disappointing end to his long-awaited return, the Olympic bronze medalist exemplified true sportsmanship, generously praising his opponent’s performance in defeat.
However, in a stunning twist of fate, Naraoka’s triumph was short-lived. The very next day, the young Japanese star was himself on the receiving end of a major upset. India’s emerging talent, Ayush Shetty, mounted a brilliant comeback after dropping the first game to overwhelm the fifth seed 19-21, 21-12, 21-14 in 72 minutes. This result served as a powerful reminder of the relentless and unpredictable nature of modern badminton, where no star, regardless of their previous day’s glory, is safe from an early exit.
The Five-Title Triumph

The 2025 Hong Kong Open was a historic event for Chinese badminton, as the nation’s players achieved a remarkable clean sweep of all five titles. This dominant performance saw China capture the men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles crowns. This achievement is particularly significant as it marks the first time a single country has won all available titles at a BWF World Tour event (Super 300 or higher) since the tour’s inception in 2018.
While the 2025 Hong Kong Open sweep is a first for the BWF World Tour era, it is not the first time China has accomplished this feat at the Hong Kong Open. The nation previously achieved a clean sweep of all titles at this very tournament in 2012. This was a pivotal year for Chinese badminton, with the team also dominating the Olympic Games in London.
The 2012 victory was a testament to the golden generation of Chinese players, including legendary figures who went on to achieve global recognition. Before that, China also swept the Hong Kong Open titles in both 2011 and 2005. These repeated instances of total dominance at the Hong Kong Open suggest a strong historical connection and a consistent ability for China to perform at its peak in this particular tournament.

Highlights
Rivals Re-Routed
The withdrawal of top seed and reigning world champion Shi Yuqi reshuffled the opening-round script at the 2025 China Masters, preventing a much-anticipated early clash between long-time men’s singles rivals Kunlavut Vitidsarn and Kodai Naraoka.
Instead of facing each other as originally drawn, the two were handed new assignments. Elevated to the top spot in the draw, Vitidsarn lined up against Singapore’s Jason Teh, while Naraoka — whose lone BWF World Tour crown came at this very event in 2023 — was set a sterner test against local contender Weng Hongyang.
Redemption on Court
For Thailand’s Ruttanapak Oupthong and Jhenicha Sudjaipraparat, the 2025 China Masters draw was more than a list of names. It represented a chance to overturn a painful history and prove how far they had come. They had met French star duo Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue twice before and lost on both occasions. This time, though, the Thai combination arrived better prepared, with weeks of planning and a quiet confidence guiding them into the arena.
The match opened with the French pair asserting themselves, taking the first game 21–12. Yet Oupthong and Sudjaipraparat held firm. True to Sudjaipraparat’s steady approach of “one step at a time,” they reset mentally and stayed in the contest. That mindset paid off in the second game. Longer rallies, sharper placement, and tireless movement saw the Thai duo shift momentum and even the match at 21–16.
The third game turned into a tense test of composure. Down 11–9 at the break, the world No.16s clung to their plan and waited for an opening. At 14-all, a decisive five-point surge broke the deadlock, and from there they controlled the closing stretch to seal a memorable victory.
Heartbreak in Shenzhen
Lee Zii Jia had still been chasing his first BWF World Tour triumph since his quarter-final run at the Orleans Masters in early March. Coming off consecutive first-round defeats, the Malaysian shuttler was forced to withdraw from his opening match at the Super 750 China Masters against world No.16 Lin Chun-yi of Chinese Taipei. Lee even held a match point before injury stopped him, ending the contest at 21-17, 20-22, 6-14. The opening game had been tightly fought. Lee strung together a late burst to edge ahead 19-17 and converted his first game point after just 18 minutes. Buoyed by that start, he seized control early in the second game, building a 9-4 lead. Lin responded by clawing back to 17-15 before the score swung back and forth. Lee reached 20-19 for a match point but could not finish it off, and the match moved to a deciding game. In the third, Lee’s lack of match fitness became apparent. Down 6-14, he signalled to the umpire that he could not continue, bringing an abrupt end to his campaign.
Second WT QF for Sindhu
PV Sindhu extended her impressive run at the China Masters, advancing to the quarterfinals with a commanding straight-games victory (21-15, 21-15) over Thailand’s World No. 6, Pornpawee Chochuwong. The two-time Olympic medalist, who was seeking to reverse a season plagued by six first-round exits, demonstrated strong form in Shenzhen. She built her quarterfinal berth on a foundation of decisive victories, having first dispatched Denmark’s Line Christophersen with a dominant 21-5, 21-10 win in the opening round.
However, Sindhu’s campaign concluded in the next round, where she was defeated by the 2024 Paris Olympic champion, South Korea’s An Se-young.
Fajar and Fikri Made It Again
Indonesia’s new men’s doubles pairing of Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri pulled off an impressive upset against China’s Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang, who were riding high from a recent title at the Hong Kong Open.
The Indonesian duo controlled the match with sharp net interceptions and powerful smashes from the back. Though they lost the first game, their relentless strategy eventually overwhelmed the Chinese pair. Fajar and Fikri rallied to a hard-fought 16–21, 21–15, 21–18 victory, advancing to the quarter-finals of the China Masters.
Lanier Ended Axelsen’s Campaign
Two-time Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen suffered a surprise defeat to France’s Alex Lanier in the round of 16 of the 2025 China Masters. The Danish former world No.1 opened strongly at the Shenzhen Arena, edging the first game 22–20, but Lanier — ranked seventh in the world — hit back to claim the next two games 21–15, 21–13. Earlier in the tournament, Axelsen had bounced back from a first-round exit at the Hong Kong Open by defeating China’s Wang Zhengxing 16–21, 21–17, 21–11 in his opening match in Shenzhen. However, the Paris 2024 Olympic gold medallist was still regaining full match fitness after a six-month absence from competition and found it hard to cope with the pace of a 67-minute encounter. Alex Lanier’s victory over Viktor Axelsen at the 2025 China Masters made their H2H record 2-1 in favor of Lanier.

China’s Mixed Doubles Streak Ends
For the first time in the 18-year history of the China Masters, the mixed doubles final did not feature a Chinese pair, ending the country’s extraordinary streak of domestic dominance since the tournament’s inception in 2005. This historic moment was secured at the Shenzhen Arena after two thrilling semifinal victories by non-Chinese pairs.
In a remarkable upset, Thailand’s Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Supissara Paewsampran defeated the top-seeded Chinese duo, Jiang Zhen Bang and Wei Ya Xin, in a swift 43-minute match with a score of 21-17, 22-20.
The second semifinal was an epic battle that saw Malaysia’s newly crowned world champions, Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei, triumph over the defending champions, Feng Yan Zhe and Huang Dong Ping. The grueling match lasted 80 minutes, with the Malaysian pair prevailing in a three-game thriller, 22-24, 21-19, 21-17. Their victory solidified the historic outcome and guaranteed that new, non-local champions would be crowned.

2024 Champions
Of the previous year’s China Masters champions, only An Se-young and Seo Seung-jae managed to successfully defend their titles. The 2024 winning men’s doubles pair of Jin Yong and Seo Seung-jae had not reunited for the tournament. Instead, Seo Seung-jae had formed a new partnership with Kim Won-ho, and the duo entered the tournament as the top seeds. Jin Yong, meanwhile, was absent from the player list altogether and did not compete.

Highlights
New Water Policy
The 2025 Korea Open was not only set to showcase world-class badminton but also a renewed commitment to sustainability. Tournament organizers announced a new initiative aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting environmentally responsible practices throughout the event.
Starting that year, disposable PET bottled water was no longer supplied to players and officials. Instead, every participant received a reusable sports water bottle upon arrival. In support of this shift, large water dispensers were placed across the venue — including the competition hall, practice courts and warm-up areas — to make it simple for players, staff and volunteers to refill their bottles whenever needed.
While the tournament did not hand out 500ml plastic water bottles as in past editions, there were no restrictions on bringing or purchasing other beverages inside the venue. Participants and spectators could still buy drinks of their choice on site or bring their own bottles from other brands.
Organizers clarified that the change was driven purely by environmental sustainability goals and was not connected to the promotion of any beverage company. They called on everyone involved — from athletes to coaches and spectators — to actively support the new system and help reduce the event’s ecological footprint.
By taking these steps, the 2025 Korea Open aimed to lead by example in the sporting world, showing that a premier international badminton tournament could deliver high-level competition while also caring for the planet.
Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan Reunite
Olympic champions Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan were back together on court at the 2025 Korea Open, rekindling one of badminton’s most successful partnerships. The four-time world champions, who had claimed gold at the Paris 2024 Games, had mostly gone their separate ways since their Olympic triumph but returned as fifth seeds in Suwon.
Their appearances as a pair had been rare over the past year. After earning an automatic berth at the BWF World Tour Finals the previous December, the duo also played together at the 2025 Badminton Asia Championships and made a brief showing at the BWF Sudirman Cup Finals, where they contested only one match.
In the interim, Jia had forged a winning partnership with Zhang Shuxian, capturing the China Masters title the previous Sunday. Chen had endured a quieter spell, unable to replicate that level of success alongside Wang Tingge or Keng Shuliang.
The Korea Open raised the question of whether the two stars could recapture their past dominance. Winners of this tournament two years earlier, Chen and Jia opened their campaign against Hsu Ya-ching and Sung Yu-hsuan, with a possible quarter-final meeting against Japan’s Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto.
The draw itself was wide open. With several top combinations absent, Japan’s Rin Iwanaga and Kie Nakanishi had been installed as top seeds, while Kim Hye-jeong and Kong Hee-yong — runners-up at the China Masters — were seeded second. All eyes were on whether Chen and Jia could turn their reunion into another memorable chapter in their storied careers.
2024 Champions
All of last year’s Korea Open title holders were set to return for the new edition, except in the women’s doubles category. Jeong Na-eun, who lifted the trophy alongside Kim Hye-jeong last season, was entered this time with Lee Yeon-woo, while Kim paired up with Kong Hee-yong.
Meanwhile, Korea’s reigning Olympic women’s singles champion An Se-young headed the field as the top seed, and the country’s men’s doubles world champions, Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae, were also slated to play in front of a home crowd as top seeds — setting the stage for a particularly exciting tournament.[mfn]“2025 Korea Open Draws”.

How the Games Work
The 2025 BDMNTN-XL Jakarata is set to revolutionize the way fans experience badminton. Unlike traditional tournaments, this innovative format emphasizes speed, intensity, and a fresh take on team-based competition. With its unique scoring system, time-based games, and thrilling tie-break mechanisms, the event is designed to maximize excitement for both players and spectators. Here’s a breakdown of how the competition works.
Basic Terminology
To understand the format, several key terms must be introduced:

Tie: This refers to when two teams face each other.
Match: Each tie consists of four matches, including 3×3 (team triples), Men’s Singles (MS), Women’s Singles (WS), and another 3×3.
Game: Every match is divided into four games, each lasting eight minutes.
Scoring System: There is no minimum or maximum point requirement in a game. Instead, time dictates play, with each game lasting strictly eight minutes.

This time-based format ensures that matches are compact, intense, and engaging from start to finish.
New Scoring Innovations
The 2025 edition introduces several changes to the scoring structure.

A 3×3 match is valued at 3 points, while Singles matches are worth 1 point each.
This adjustment increases the importance of team-based play and creates more tactical diversity.
Substitutions in 3×3 matches are also permitted, with game time reduced from 10 minutes to 8 minutes, making the pace faster and more demanding.

Pressure Point Rule
One of the most thrilling elements is the Pressure Point rule, which activates when the score difference is three points or fewer at the end of the eight minutes.

In this situation, the leading team must secure one additional point to officially win.
Meanwhile, the trailing team is given a chance to make a dramatic comeback by scoring consecutive points.
For example, if the score is 9-6 at the end of regulation, the leading side needs just one more point to clinch the game, while the trailing side must mount a four-point rally to snatch victory.

This rule keeps fans on the edge of their seats, as no game is truly over until the last point is decided.
Shuttle Showdown
Another exciting addition is the Shuttle Showdown, which comes into play when a match ends 2-2 in games.

In this showdown, the first team to reach 3 points wins.
Victory can be achieved with a score of 3-1 or 3-2, or if a team leads by two clear points (such as 2-0).
This format creates a mini-sudden-death style ending, ensuring every tied match concludes in dramatic fashion.

Ultimate Shuttle Showdown
If an entire tie between two teams ends 4-4, the Ultimate Shuttle Showdown is triggered.

Before the tie begins, captains decide whether Men’s Singles or Women’s Singles will serve as the tiebreaker discipline.
The first player to reach 5 points secures victory for their team.
Possible scorelines include 5-4, 5-3, 5-2, 5-1, or even 5-0.

This final layer ensures that every tie ends with high-stakes action, highlighting the pressure and skill of star players.
Team Structure and Competition Format
The 2025 BDMNTN-XL features:

4 Teams, each with 8 players.
A tie format that includes six matches: 3×3, Women’s Singles, Men’s Singles, and another 3×3.
The first team to accumulate 5 points across the tie is declared the winner.
The top two teams in the group stage advance to the Final, where the ultimate champion is crowned.

New Features in 2025
Several other innovations make this edition particularly exciting:

Expanded Player Pool: Increasing from 28 to 32 participants.
Shorter, More Intense Games: Cutting the time from 10 minutes to 8 minutes.
Introduction of Team Captains: Adding leadership and strategic decision-making roles.
Removal of Doubles Matches: Replacing them with more 3×3 contests, further emphasizing team coordination and creativity.
