Chou, Chen bask in Thailand Open glory
Print Edition
Chinese Taipei shuttler Chou Tien-chen clinched the men’s singles title at the Thailand Open yesterday in a thrilling final against Angus Ng Ka Long of China’s Hong Kong.
Both players collapsed after third seed Chou eked out a 21-14, 11-21, 23-21 victory in a 67-minute match at Bangkok’s Indoor Stadium Huamark. “I love you guys, thank you,” the 29-year-old told the crowd in an on-court interview. Former world champion and hometown favorite Ratchanok Intanon was denied a third Thailand Open title when Chinese top seed Chen Yufei defeated her 22-20, 21-18. In women’s doubles, Japanese seventh seeds Shiho Tanaka and Koharu Yonemoto fended off Du Yue and Li Yinhui, the eighth seeds from China, in three close games. Unseeded Indian pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty stunned Chinese third seeds Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen for the men’s doubles title.
