The Taipei Open is an open badminton international championship which has been a BWF Super 300 tournament and held regularly in Taiwan.
The Taipei Open is an open badminton international championship held in Taiwan since the 1970s. The tournament is conducted in irregular periods over the years. However, post-1980 they are regularly held, except in 1998, 2001, 2020, and 2021, the latter two due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament is categorised as a BWF grade 300 tournament.
Heading on to the Day 5 of the tournament will see the beginning of the Semi-Finals. India had an unforgettable day in the tournament on Day 4. HS Prannoy lost his quarter-final match at the Taipei Open, a BWF World Tour Super 300 tournament, against Hong Kong’s fifth seed Angus Ng Ka Long. The world No. 9 was the last remaining Indian in the tournament. Prannoy took an early lead but could never recover from a narrow loss in the first game to eventually lose convincingly by 19-21, 8-21.
However, on the other side of the court it was a great day for the former world no. 1 Tai Tzu Ying. The badminton player who has decided to hang up her racquet is relentless. She dominated against her opponent Katethong and won the game in straight sets. Tai’s next opponent in the semis is also from Thailand, Pornpicha Choeikeewong. It will be interesting to see whether Tai manages to own this title.
