Sports News] On the eve of the highly anticipated women’s singles final of the
BWF World Tour Finals, Tai Tzu-Ying, a renowned badminton player from Taiwan,
China, granted an interview to the media. She shared her sentiments about
successfully reaching the final. Although she was preparing to face the
higher-ranked Spanish badminton star Marin, she already felt fortunate because
the Indonesian badminton star Mariska, who was previously eliminated from
advancing, unexpectedly defeated Korean badminton star KIM Gaeun. Not only did
Mariska achieve her first victory, but she also helped Dai Ziying secure a spot
in the top four. Dai Ziying candidly expressed, “Happiness comes too
suddenly.” When asked by the media what she would like to say to Mariska,
Dai Ziying smiled and stated, “I will ask her out to dinner, and I hope
she agrees.” At 29 years old, Dai Ziying is the oldest player among many
renowned female badminton players. She was the runner-up in the women’s
badminton singles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and is an experienced player.
