Yang Bohan suffered an injury in training before the Taipei Open and decided to retire in the first round of the tiebreaker. He said that in the past, even if he was not feeling well, he would still try to finish the game, but this time it was really painful, "This is the first time in my career that I have retired due to injury!" Yang Bohan said that this time it was an acute strain, although he recovered quickly, but the training intensity decreased, and after arriving in Thailand, he also practiced his physical fitness diligently, running at least 4 kilometers every day, so that he could cope with the continuous hard battles.

Yang Bohan/Liu Guangheng defeated Takumi Nomura/Yuichi Shigami, who reached the top 4 in Taipei, in the first round, and on the 15th, they solved Qi Dongzhu/Jiang Minhyuk, who won the runner-up in Taipei, and advanced to the top 8 for the third time this season after the All England and Asian Championships.

In men's singles, world No. 7 Zhou Tiancheng was reversed by Danish player Jemke 21:15, 16:21, 13:21, swallowing two consecutive defeats and missing the top 8.
