China's top seed Shi Yuqi wins All England Open

SPORTS 16.03.2025

China's badminton world number one Shi Yuqi delivered a composed performance to see off Taiwan's Lee Chia-hao 21-17, 21-19 on Sunday, sealing his second men's singles title at the All England Open.

Text size:

Shi came from behind in the first game in Birmingham and pulled away as the gap in class between himself and his 22nd-ranked opponent became evident.

Lee came out of the blocks firing and opened up a three-point lead, but Shi reeled off six straight points and never relinquished the lead.

The tenacious Lee held an 8-7 lead in the second game but he could not pull away from his 29-year-old opponent, who also won the tournament in 2018.

Shi was briefly made to sweat after his 20-16 lead narrowed to 20-19 but he held his nerve to seal victory.
