The world's number one women's singles badminton player, Tai Tzu Ying, will appear in the German Open 2022 tournament. This will be her chance to win the event's first title.
The Germain Open is a BWF Super 300 tournament. The event will take place in Muelheim, from 8 March to 13 March 2022.
This will be Tai Tzu Ying's return to the tournament after an eight-year absence.
The last time Tai Tzu Ying appeared at the German Open was in the 2014 edition where Japan's Sayaka Takahashi won.
At that time, Tai Tzu Ying was immediately eliminated in the first round. He surrendered 16-21, 12-21 to Thailand's Busanan Ongbamrungphan.
The certainty that Tai Tzu Ying will be involved in the German Open 2022 is known through his uploads on Instagram. Taiwan's number one player is already in Germany.
"Long flight. Arrived at the hotel safely. Long time no see, Germany," he said in the post.
"Good night to me, good morning to you. I hope you all have a wonderful day, I am making adjustments after a tired flight."
The women's singles sector at the German Open 2022 will be tight and exciting. Because, a number of big names took part, including the gold medalist of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Chen Yufei (China).
Japan's defending champion, Akane Yamaguchi, is also involved. In addition, there are world number seven players from India, PV Sindhu and BWF number eight players, Ratchanok Intanon (Thailand).
Tai Tzu Ying, who was placed as the number one seed, will start her fight at the 2022 German Open against American Iris Wang.
After this tournament, the players will continue their journey to Birmingham, England. They take part in the oldest and most prestigious tournament, the All England Super 1000 on 16 March.
Unlike the German Open where he has never won, Tai Tzu Ying has been very impressive in the All England. He is eyeing a fourth title at the tournament after taking the main podium in 2017, 2018 and 2020.
