Chinese Taipei's Li Jiahao fought with Chinese king Shi Yuqi for 51 minutes in the men's singles championship match of the Super 1000 Series 2025 All England Open Badminton Championships on the 16th local time, and finally lost 17:21, 19:21, and won the runner-up, still creating the best result of his career.

Li Jiahao

The 25-year-old won the Kaohsiung Masters last year and finished runner-up at the Korea Open, but he has struggled this season, knocking out the first round of the Malaysia, India Open and Indonesia Masters.

However, Li Jiahao actively adjusted and changed, and performed surprisingly at the All England Championships this week, defeating Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk-yiu, Japan's Yushi Tanaka, and Kenta Nishimoto, and defeating France's Lanier in the quarterfinals, making him the second Chinese Taipei men's singles player to advance to the All England Championships final after Chou Tien Cheng.

Li Jiahao will compete with world champion Shi Yuqi for the title on the same day, and the two have only played once in the past, and the opponent will win. However, Li Jiahao started well today, scoring 3 points in a row and forcing the opponent to make mistakes many times and take the lead, but Shi Yuqi quickly adjusted the rhythm and scored continuously, plus Li Jiahao made many active mistakes and fell into a hard battle.

Shi Yuqi

Li Jiahao, who was behind, showed good defensive strength, fought back and forth with Shi Yuqi many times, and also beat the opponent to the ground many times, scoring 4 points in a row, but unfortunately conceded 17:21 in the first game.

Entering the second game, Li Jiahao tried to break through, but he still fell behind 4:7 at the beginning, and then he scored 4 points in a row to lead, and the two sides went back and forth, but Shi Yuqi was still a step ahead and took the lead in winning the end of the game, even if Li Jiahao was unable to reverse the situation even by 3 points, and lost 19:21.
