China Dominates, Europe Eliminated at Macau Open 2024

At the Macau Open 2024, China claimed 4 out of 5 gold medals, while all European athletes were eliminated in the first round.

The Sands China Ltd. Macau Open Badminton 2024 marked the conclusion of the “Asian leg” of the BWF World Tour and the beginning of the “European leg,” starting with the CLASH ROYALE Arctic Open powered by YONEX on October 8th. However, while it signified the end of the Asian leg, it did not herald the start of European dominance in the sport.

As highlighted in our opening article, European players faced an uphill battle due to limited participation in Macau and unfortunate matchups. There were still chances for European athletes to achieve notable victories, but these hopes were dashed. The top-seeded pair, Ben Lane and Sean Vendy, were defeated by the newly formed Chinese duo, Chen Xu Jun and Liu Yi, who went on to claim their first major victory as a team.
