On the evening of December 17, Beijing time, the 2023 Badminton Finals ended the last men's individual final competition, and the national badminton men's singles Shi Yuqi performed poorly in the duel with the defending champion Axelsen, and finally lost to the opponent and missed the championship.
The schedule entered the final day of competition, and all 5 individual events entered the championship match:
梁伟/王昶 VS 姜珉/
The two sides have only met once before, in the semi-finals of the 2023 India Open Badminton Championships, when the Liang Wang duo defeated their opponents 21-18, 21-19 and 2-0 on aggregate to advance to the final.
In this campaign, the Liangwang combination had a bad start, facing the world champion Jiang Xu combination who eliminated the Liu Ou combination in the previous round, and made continuous mistakes as soon as they came up, losing the first game 0-1 at 17:21.
In the second game, the Liangwang combination once fell to the bottom 8:14, and then fought hard, unstoppable to hold multiple game points at 20:16, and then the result was a big surprise and retreated, and the young Liangwang combination paid the price of growth, and was forcibly reversed by the Korean team at 22:20, thus losing the championship with a total score of 0-2.
As a result, the world champion defeated the Chinese team fighting at home one after another.
If it weren't for the mixed doubles loss to IELTS, "Model Worker" Xu Oba is very likely to be crowned double champion again after the World Championships.
Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan VS Bai Ha Na/Li Shaoxi
The Fanchen combination is the defending champion of this tournament, the two sides have a record of 4-3 before, and the Fanchen combination has a slight advantage, and at the same time played 5 games in the final, the Fanchen combination has an absolute advantage and only loses 1 game.
In this battle, the Fanchen combination was blocked by the opponent, but suddenly accelerated after 12:12, played a wave of 8-2 offensive frenzy, and held the big game point with a total score of 20:14, and then easily won the first 1-0 with 21:16.
In the second game, the Fanchen combination once again had the upper hand, successively expanding the advantage with 13:8 and 19:14, and finally defeated the Korean women's doubles with a total score of 2-0 without suspense and successfully defended the title.

In the deciding game, the two sides once again fought hard in the first half of the quarter, but in the second half, Dai Tzuying gave full play to her technical advantages and used hard moves such as feints, early predictions, and quick net grabbing to kill Marin to exhaust herself, and approached the match point with 19:15, and finally won the championship with a total score of 21:18 and a total score of 2-1.
In the semi-finals (10-19 down in the tiebreaker) and the final reversal to overthrow world No. 1 An Xiying and Grand Slam winner Marin, Xiao Dai deserved this title.

It is worth mentioning that before the game, some media jokingly asked IELTS: If you win the championship, how will the prize money be spent, Xiao Zheng rushed to answer, "all handed in".
Shi Yuqi VS Axelsen
The finale, the last stage.
Overturned Axelsen 2-0 in the first group stage, Shi Yuqi's performance was amazing enough, earning enough eyeballs for the Hangzhou organizers.
In the 2017 finals, Shi Yuqi reversed Axelsen 2-1 in the group stage, and was beaten 21:12, 21:8 by his opponent in the semifinals.
Before the game, Axelsen half-joked in an interview, "I'm worried that everyone in the audience is only cheering for the stone."

After 10:17, Shi Yuqi was powerless to recover and finally lost to the defending champion with an aggregate score of 0-2.
