An Se-young, Akane Yamaguchi, and Chen Yufei have formed a tripartite dominance in women’s singles badminton. At the 2023 French Open final, Chen Yufei defeated Tai Tzu-ying 2-0, securing back-to-back titles following her victory at the Denmark Open last week. This marks Chen Yufei’s third gold medal this season.
Throughout the season, An Se-young, Akane Yamaguchi, and Chen Yufei have largely divided the gold medals in BWF World Tour elite events. An Se-young leads with eight titles (India, Indonesia, All England, Thailand, Singapore, Korea, Japan, and China Opens), followed by Akane Yamaguchi with four (Malaysia Masters, Canada, Malaysia, and Hong Kong China Opens), and Chen Yufei with three (Indonesia, Denmark, and French Opens). Notably, Tai Tzu-ying has experienced a rapid decline in form, failing to win any elite events (Super 500 and above) this season. Her only victories came at the Super 300 Chinese Taipei Open and the Asian Championships. The remaining BWF elite events for the year include the Super 500 Kumamoto Masters Japan, Super 750 China Masters, and the BWF World Tour Finals.
