Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • China’s Chen Yufei and Han Yue will miss the 2026 China Masters in Shenzhen.
  • The Super 750 tournament runs from September 1 to 7 and serves as a final rehearsal before the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
  • Their absence gives South Korea’s An Se-young, ranked No. 1 in the world, a more favorable field.

An Se-young has received welcome news before the 2026 China Masters, with Chinese players Chen Yufei and Han Yue listed among the absentees.

The Super 750 tournament takes place in Shenzhen from September 1 to 7. It is being viewed as the final rehearsal before the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

The Badminton World Federation published the list of players who will not compete on August 31. Chen Yufei is ranked fourth in the world in women’s singles. Their withdrawals leave An Se-young with a less demanding field ahead of the major Asian Games test.
