In the 2022 Korea Open Men's Singles Final, which ended this afternoon, Weng Hongyang, a 23-year-old Chinese teenager who was killed from the qualifiers, lost one set and then won two consecutive sets, beating Indonesia's Jonatan 2-1 to win the Tour Men's Singles Championship.
This is the first time in three years that Kuniwa has won the men's singles world championship. The last BWF Tour super 500 or more champion in the men's singles was won by Chen Long at the French Open in 2019.
Weng Hongyang is currently ranked only 156th in the world, and this Korean Open was not confirmed to participate as a substitute until the day before the start of the competition, in which he played the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he is also the only Chinese player in the five individual events to advance to the final four.
After winning the championship, Weng Hongyang updated his social platform: he was very happy to win the first open men's singles championship of his career. I hadn't participated in an international competition for a long time, and I didn't expect to be able to reach the final. I am very grateful to the team and coaches for their help over the years and for giving me a valuable opportunity to compete. I will continue to work hard to make the national feather men's singles better!
