Men's Singles Champion, Viktor Axelsen, Denmark
The men's singles final was played between world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen and China's No. 1 brother Shi Yuqi. The two met in the first round of the group stage, when Shi Yuqi won 21-19. In the final, the two met again, Axelsen played a dominant advantage, and Shi Yuqi was obviously lacking in physical fitness. In the end, Axelsen won the championship with a comfortable 21-11, 21-12 victory. This is Axelsen's fifth finals championship after 2016, 2017, 2021, and 2022.
Although Axelsen's advantage this year is not as good as last year's and he has lost a lot of games, as long as Axelsen comes back healthy, he is still the strongest.
Women's Singles Champion, Tai Tzu Ying, Chinese Taipei
The women's singles final, between Tai Tzu Ying and Ma Lin, was a matchup that no one could have imagined before the match. Dai Tzuying, who staged a big reversal 10-19 in the third game of the semifinals, staged a reversal again in the final, defeating Marin 2-1 and winning the championship. This is the fourth time that Tai Tzu Ying has won the year-end finals after 2014, 2016 and 2020.
Dai Tzuying's overall strength has declined a lot this year, and it is very surprising that she can win the championship at the end of the year.
