2024 Taipei Open Badminton Statistics

In 2013, no national team, except South Korea, had won all five event titles. This year, host team Chinese Taipei is the only team to have seeds in all five events.

Chinese Taipei has had winners in the past six editions of the tournament, marking the longest winning streak since Indonesia’s 11 consecutive wins from 1990 to 2002. There were no tournaments held in 1998 and 2001.

Local star Tai Tzu-ying has won five of the last ten women’s singles titles. Defending her title would make the world No. 3 player the most successful competitor in the history of the tournament. She would also become the first player since Denmark’s women’s singles player Kirsten Larsen in 1988 to win three consecutive championships.

Both Tai Tzu-ying and fellow home favorite Chou Tien-chen, who have won titles previously, are the top-seeded players in this year’s tournament.

Since Tai Tzu-ying won her first gold medal in 2012, only South Korea has produced multiple champions in the event.

Along with the pair of Goh V Shem and Tan Wee Kiong (2019), Wang Chi-lin (2017 and 2018 with Chen Hung-ling) and Tseng Hsiao-yang, six former champions are participating in this year’s tournament. However, their partners have changed: Wu Tso-tung, Chen Chien-jen, and Tseng Chun-hua have different partners, while Wang Chi-lin competes in his final match alongside his two-time Olympic gold-medalist partner Lee Yang.

Women’s doubles has been the only event won by different countries in the last four editions: Japan (2018), Thailand (2019), Hong Kong (2022), and South Korea (2023).

Key Data: Chinese Taipei has yet to win a mixed doubles event directly, though this year they have four seeded pairs in the mixed doubles draw, including top seeds Ye Hong-wei and Lee Chia-hsin.
