Lakshya Sen Vs Shi Yuqi LIVE Score, All England Open: Can Indian Shuttler Topple World No. 1?

Shi Yuqi was born on 28 February 1996 in Nantong, Jiangsu, and began playing badminton at the age of six before rising rapidly through China’s elite training system.

A Youth Olympic gold medallist in 2014, he transitioned seamlessly into the senior circuit, winning his first Super Series title at the French Open in 2016. Over the years, he has established himself as one of men’s singles’ most complete players, defeating legends like Lin Dan at the All England and steadily building a world-class résumé.

Now the reigning world champion and current All England Open title-holder, Shi sits at World No. 1, anchoring China’s dominance in both individual and team events, including multiple Sudirman Cup and Thomas Cup triumphs.
