Very interesting fact box this. Surprisingly no other Chinese women’s singles player has ever achieved this feat.

Was not to be for Ayush Shetty in the final. But the fantastic run kept the Indian badminton fans captivated and he went where no India men’s singles player had gone for 61 years. Well done Ayush

Everyone, including the top players feel the same. But whoever is responsible for promoting the game in BWF probably thinks that tinkering the scoring system is better than putting in other efforts to make the sport more popular and TV friendly.

The semifinal between Ayush Shetty and Kunlavut Vitidsarn (World No. 1) at the Asian Badminton Championships was a powerful reminder of what our sport truly stands for. It was intense, demanding, and deeply tactical—everything that makes badminton special. Ayush’s win underlined one critical truth: there are no shortcuts in our sport. Physical endurance, resilience, and mental strength are non-negotiable. Which is why I must say this clearly to the Badminton World Federation: Do not dilute badminton by altering the scoring system to shorten matches. This move risks reducing a sport built on endurance and skill into one designed merely to fit television windows. The idea of compressing five events into a three-hour broadcast slot cannot come at the cost of the sport’s essence. Badminton is not just about speed—it is about attrition, strategy, adaptability, and sustained excellence. The current scoring system allows contrasting styles—attacking and defensive—to compete on equal terms. That balance is the soul of the game. Compromising this for convenience would be a serious mistake. If you shorten the game, you don’t modernize badminton—you diminish it.

Ayush Shetty’s dream run at #BAC226 continues. He takes down world no. 1 Kunlavut to become only the third Indian to reach the final. Dinesh Khanna (1965) and Satwik-Chirag (2023) went on to win the title. Ayush definitely looks like he could match that feat.

#BAC2026
Third straight top class win for Ayush Shetty. This time he beats Jonatan Christie in straight games, having saved two game points in the first. This also means that he is assured of his first Asian Championships medal.

@vinayakkm BAC is in doldrums, financially and administratively. Hopefully, someone solves the mess soon.

Annual post about Badminton Asia being worthless.
Vinayakk@vinayakkm
Mandatory post about Badminton Asia being the most pointless tournament organiser arguably in world sport.

A clinical performance by Ayush Shetty to beat Li on his home turf. Each of these wins are important for him to build the confidence and aim for bigger goals.

Interesting anecdotes about India’s only singles champion in #Badminton Asia Championships.

@karhacter Won’t be surprised if any actually follows your idea

@abk6580 How about doing six tosses in a match and then have a super-toss, if required, in order to fit in a tournament every day?

Interesting argument on whether cricket can go for more shorter format for “Cricketainment” after the success of T20 cricket. Not sure what the cricket journos think? @karhacter

Not the kind of end to the career a top player like her deserves. It was a pleasure to watch Marin play at her peak. And the best part was she was unapologetic about her ambition to be remembered as the best in the world. Best of luck to her for her future endeavour.

My path ends here. Thank you all, because you’ve also been part of it. In this new chapter, I will carry with me the values that have guided me so far, and I will try to give back to society everything it has given me over the years. It has been a wonderful journey ♥️

@Datarsahab @vinayakkm @jon_selvaraj @RevSportzGlobal @BoriaMajumdar Conversations are going on with a couple of interested parties. But nothing firmed up as yet. Let’s see how things unfold in a few months.

Do we have any updates on the new version of the Premier Badminton League? I believe it’s supposed to launch under a new name with new promoters and is scheduled to happen by the end of 2026, right?

What a day it has been for Chinese Taipei so far. Two finals, two title.

Incredible defence from Lakshya there in that 46-shot rally. Lin had fought back to make it 14-14 and this point will give him the belief and put pressure on Lin.
English
#badminton
Time for the summit clash between @lakshya_sen and Lin Chun-Yi at the #AllEngland2026. Can Lakshya end India’s 25 year wait for an All England title against a player he has a 0-4 H2H record.
English
#Badminton #AllEngland2026
Lakshya threw the kitchen sink at Lin in those last few points, saved a match point but Lin creates history by becoming the first men’s singles player from Chinese Taipei to win the title in Birmingham.
English
#badminton #AllEngland2026
Lakshya begins to test Lin’s mental fortitude by keeping the shuttle deep and wins six straight points from 3-4 to take a sizeable lead. But Lin closes the gap to three points at the mid-game interval.
English
#badminton #AllEngland2026
The quality of line judging has been excellent in this tournament and it continue in the final.
English
#badminton #AllEngland2026
Lin punished Lakshya every time he could not find the right length for his lifts. The left-hander is devastating when he gets the shuttle mid court for a smash. Lakshya will have to be perfect with his lifts in the second game now.
