Women's single BWF Badminton world title
History was also made in the Women’s Singles, where Akane YAMAGUCHI (No. 5, Japan) secured her third world championship title—an achievement that places her alongside Spain’s Carolina MARIN.
Facing China’s CHEN Yu Fei (No. 4), an Olympic champion and two-time world medalist, YAMAGUCHI put on a commanding performance.
She raced to a 10/2 lead in the first set and closed it 21/9. The second set saw a tighter battle, with the Japanese star leading by just two points at the interval.
However, a string of brilliant rallies helped her pull ahead 16/10 before she sealed the win 21/13. This dominant victory ties her with MARIN’s record, solidifying her place among badminton’s elite.

Women's double BWF Worlds title.
In the Women’s Doubles final, China’s LIU Sheng Shu and TAN Ning (No. 1) showed why they are the top seeds, overcoming Malaysia’s Pearly TAN and Muralitharan THINAAH (No. 2) in a dramatic three-game match.
After taking the first game 21/14 with relative ease, LIU and TAN faltered slightly, allowing the Malaysians to take the second set 22/20. But as fatigue set in for their opponents, the Chinese duo regained control to close out the match 21/17.
Remarkably, this was their first world championship appearance—and they captured the title in style. Already winners of the Indonesia Open and China Open this season, LIU and TAN further cement their status at the top of the sport.
