Li Shifeng, who became the first national feather men's singles player to win the Malaysia Masters, said she felt liberated

Compared to the Chinese men's singles who made history and became the first Chinese to win the Malaysia Badminton Masters, Li Shifeng was even happier that he finally won his first title this year, saying that he felt released and relieved, and even said that there was an element of luck in winning the championship.

Li Shifeng said that after ending the championship drought for nearly half a year, he felt released and relieved from this

Prior to winning the 2025 Malaysia Badminton Super 500 Championship, Lee Shi Feng last won the title at the Kumamoto Super 500 in November last year. Before participating in the Malaysia Masters, Lee Shifeng had failed to win the championship this year after reaching the semi-finals in the previous three tournaments and four semi-finals in six tournaments. In the men's singles final of the 2025 Malaysia Badminton Masters on the 25th, world No. 4 Li Shifeng defeated India's veteran Srikanth, ranked 65th in the world, 21-11, 21-9, and finally ended the championship drought of nearly half a year.

Li Shifeng said after the game: "The moment I win, I think it's better to release, because it's true that I haven't won the championship for a long time, and even entered the finals, so if I can win this championship, I think I will still release it, that is, there will be a relief." ”
Speaking about making history at this event, Li Shifeng said: "I didn't expect to be the first (Chinese men's singles to win the championship) in this event, because I didn't pay attention to who won the championship here. I think it's a very good start, because I used to stop in the semi-finals almost every year, and then this time I can break through, I think it's an affirmation and an encouragement for myself. ”

said that there is still a gap with the top men's singles. Lee Sze Fong, who won all five matches from the first round to the final of this year's Malaysia Masters, won in straight sets, and he said: "According to the results, it is indeed good (performance), both of which are 2-0, but there will definitely be a lot of problems in the future, because not every race is so smooth, so I still have to be ready to do my best in every game."

Li Shifeng also admitted that there is still a gap between himself and the top men's singles in terms of strength, "Now the men's singles are really very average, and I also have a lot of luck as a champion." There is still a lot of gap between me and the top players, and there are many major competitions including the World Championships that I have not won yet, so I still hope that through this championship, I can improve myself and strengthen myself more. ”
