Lin Xiangti was reversed by Japan's 18-year-old rising star Yuka Miyazaki and missed the top 4 of the 2025 Taipei Women's Singles

Chinese Taipei women's player Lin Xiangti, ranked 31st in the world, was reversed by the world's No. 8 Japanese 18-year-old star Yuka Miyazaki in the women's singles quarterfinals of the Super 300 series 2025 Chinese Taipei Open Badminton Championships on the 9th with 21:17, 8:21, 17:21 and missed the top 4.

Lin Xiangti reached the final of the Macau Open last year, and was the runner-up in China's Gao Fangjie, setting a career best in the 300 class. It's just that Lin Xiangti is only the best round of 16 this year, and after yesterday's victory over Japan, Okuhara hoped that she shouted excitedly after winning, because she advanced to the top 8 women's singles in Taipei for the first time in her career, but today she met the top seed Miyazaki Yuka, the two have played each other 3 times in the past, and Lin Xiangti only won the Macau Open last year.

Miyazaki Yuka pulled the hitting angle away at the beginning of the game, which made Lin Xiangti a little difficult to adapt and fell into 1:5 behind, but Lin Xiangti quickly stabilized and became an 11:9 lead before the technical timeout, even if Miyazaki Yuka came to 17:14 again, but due to frequent mistakes in the bottom line, Lin Xiangti seized the opportunity including a lucky tennis ball, successfully came to 20:17 first, and then used a beautiful sliding racket to score 7 points in a row to take the next city.

Lin Xiangti made more mistakes after changing sides in the second game, and Miyazaki Yuka entered a technical timeout at 11:3, and Lin Xiangti was still unable to respond after the timeout, so he could only let the Japanese rising star equalize the game. Entering the decisive game, Miyazaki Yuka played more strongly, and Lin Xiangti tried hard to compete with the opponent, but unfortunately he was still unable to bring down the strong opponent.

Miyazaki's biggest goal in Taipei this time is to win the championship, and now she has also picked up Huang Yuping, Chen Suyu, and Lin Xiangti in a row, and it is also her second time this season after the India Open to reach the top 4.
