Taiwan’s Chou Tien-chen, the world’s third-ranked male badminton player, is to be among several highly ranked players appearing at this year’s Yonex Chinese Taipei Open, the biggest professional badminton tournament played in Taiwan.

Chou, who finished third in last year’s men’s singles after winning the title in 2016 and 2017, is looking to regain the title, saying that he would play for Taiwan and hopes to play his best in every match.

“I will make every effort to play well while maintaining the right attitude. It is also important to keep improving,” he said.

Chou scored one of the biggest victories of his career when he won the Blibli Indonesia Open, a top-tier BWF Super 1000 event, in the middle of last month, and a BWF Super 500 event in Thailand last week.
