The unstoppable top four!

These four women´s players are on top of their game and most often one of them are crowned the winner of a World Tour title. Defending world champion Akane Yamaguchi from Japan is seeking her third back-to-back title. Throughout 2022 and 2023 Yamaguchi has won six World Tour titles, and some of her biggest wins are All England, World Tour Finals and Malaysia Open. Yamaguchi is strong in her defence, but a player who is going to challenge her with a great offense is Chen Yu Fei from China. Chen, the reigning Olympic champion, has the potential to capture China’s first women’s singles title at a World Championship since 2011.

Tai Tzu Ying from Chinese Taipei is a dangerous opponent on the other side of the net. The Taipei shuttler has three All England titles to her name and won the Indonesia Open 2022. The Olympic silver medallist is no stranger to breaking new ground as she became the youngest women’s singles player to claim the No. 1 spot aged 22. A player who is definitely trying to beat that record is An Se Young from Korea. The 21-year-old has won 16 World Tour titles, is increasingly difficult to beat, and doesn’t hold back for anyone. The big question is if there is anyone who can fight their way through this group of forceful players and claim the World Championship title.
