Chinese shuttlers continued their commanding performance on Day 3 of the 2025 Malaysia Masters, securing dominant victories across all categories at the Axiata Arena on Thursday.
In the men’s singles, China’s Li Shifeng showcased remarkable control and precision as he defeated Singapore’s Jason Teh Jia Heng 21-10, 21-17. His compatriot Weng Hongyang also advanced smoothly to the next round, overcoming Indonesia’s Farhan in a clinical performance. These wins followed Li’s earlier triumph on Day 2, where he dismantled Thailand’s Kantaphon Wangcharoen 21-9, 21-8 in just 35 minutes.
China’s strength was equally evident in the women’s singles. Wang Zhiyi led the charge by overpowering fellow Chinese player Han Qianxi 21-8, 21-17. On the previous day, Han had secured a tough three-game victory against Malaysia’s Letshanaa Karupathevan. Meanwhile, Gao Fangjie and Han Yue also booked their spots in the next round, continuing China’s unbroken streak.
In the men’s doubles, the formidable Chinese duo Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang made short work of France’s Christo Popov and Toma Junior Popov, clinching the match 21-17, 21-15. Their seamless coordination and relentless attack ensured a comfortable path forward.
The women’s doubles field was equally dominated by China. The top-seeded pair Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian crushed Malaysia’s Go Pei Kee and Teoh Mei Xing 21-6, 21-13. Meanwhile, Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning dispatched Thailand’s Tidapron Kleebyeesun and Nattamon Laisun, while Keng Shuliang and Li Huazhou ousted Hsieh Pei-Shan and Hung En-Tzu of Chinese Taipei.
China’s excellence extended to mixed doubles as well. Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin, Cheng Xing and Zhang Chi, and Feng Yangzhe with Olympic gold medalist Huang Dongping all advanced to the next stage with composed performances. However, the only blemish in an otherwise flawless campaign came when Guo Xinwa and Chen Fanghui fell to their Indonesian rivals in a tight encounter.
This continuation of dominance follows China’s strong display on Day 2, where they had advanced in all four major categories. As the tournament progresses, the Chinese contingent remains the frontrunner, raising expectations of a clean sweep in the finals.
With such consistent and high-caliber performances, China is proving once again why it remains a global powerhouse in the world of badminton.
