The quarter-finals of the ongoing badminton tournament saw a surprising upset as He Bingjiao knocked out the defending women’s singles champion Chen Yufei. The match ended with He winning 21-16, 21-17, showcasing her skilled performance.

Despite having a slight edge in their past encounters, with Chen leading 8-7 in lifetime meetings, it was He who emerged victorious this time. This win secures her a spot in the semi-finals, where she’ll take on another Olympic champion.

In the other semi-final match, Japan’s Ohori Aya faced off against the medallist Marin, who made a strong comeback after missing an earlier tournament due to a knee injury. Marin played exceptionally well, winning 21-13, 21-14, putting her one step closer to the podium.

In addition, the top seed had a tough battle against former world No. 1, taking the match to three sets before winning 15-21, 21-17, 21-8. This victory sets her up for a last-four meeting with Indonesia’s Tunjung.

Tunjung had an impressive win over Thailand’s Ratchanok Intanon, with a final score of 25-23, 21-9, allowing her to advance in the competition.
