The 2025 Malaysia Super 500 ended a losing streak with the "Altar Pair" winning a meaningful title

On the 25th local time, in the Chinese civil war staged in the women's doubles final of the 2025 Malaysia Badminton Super 500 Championship, the world's No. 1 "Altar Combination" Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning successfully took revenge and defeated teammates "Fanxian Combination" Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian in straight games 21-17, 21-18, not only ending the two consecutive defeats against their opponents, but also winning the first World Tour championship this year and winning a meaningful victory.

Earlier this year, the Malaysian Badminton Super 1000 Women's Doubles semi-finals and the Swiss Badminton Super 300 final in March, both swallowed two straight defeats against the Van Xian pair after three games.

Tan Ning: This time I can win because of a better mentality. Now that he has won back a city, Tan Ning said frankly: "Every day, we go to practice together, basically 24 hours can be said to be together, and then this time we can win, I think we may also be better in details, including mentality." "Because Sister Fan (Jia Yifan), after all, is a senior, and then we have always treated her as a role model to learn, and then lost the first two games, I think it is very normal, I think losing and winning is very normal in the team." "Being able to take revenge today is an affirmation of our own last year, and because we lost to them here at the beginning of the year, we want to win it back in the same place."

Liu Shengshu said that the two sides are familiar with each other and spend training time together almost every day, so the key to victory and defeat is not a drastic change in skills and tactics, but a mentality and details on the spot.

Liu Shengshu: The important thing is how to mobilize in the low tide. She pointed out: "It's true that the two sides are too familiar, that is, whoever is ahead may make a change and then catch up with the score, so although we say that there may be mistakes in front, we have to be bold to change, and then focus on the next point on the field. ”

Liu Shengshu also mentioned that not every game between the two is perfect, so the most important thing is how to mobilize energy between each other in the low tide: "We are trying to mobilize the state, because not every day is as good as today." After winning the title, the two will compete in the Singapore Badminton Super 750 tournament non-stop. Liu Shengshu said with a smile: "Get a good night's sleep first, and fly over tomorrow to adapt to the venue and prepare for the opponent in the first round." From the Asian championship at the beginning of the year to finally sealing the World Tour, the Altar Pair has completed self-affirmation and confidence with a "revenge".
