Event preview

1. This event is a privately initiated exhibition or invitational tournament with a prize of 8 million yuan, essentially a cash bonus for the players.
2. However, only top world-class badminton players are invited to compete; otherwise, it wouldn’t live up to the prestige of the King’s Cup.
3. Yesterday, Shi Yuqi defeated Doutian. Tonight he faces Lanier, hoping to win again, earn more bonuses, build up luck, and achieve better results next year.
4. Tonight,Lin Danwill also take to the court. Back in the day, Lin Dan dominated the badminton world with unmatched power. Let’s hope he performs as brilliantly tonight as he did in his prime!
