Kento Momota’s impressive victory at the OUE Singapore Open 2015 showcased a new generation of talent in the world of badminton singles. The 20-year-old Japanese player’s title win propelled him to his highest-ever ranking at No.7, enhancing the growing prominence of young players in the sport. The average age of the top ten Men’s Singles list is just 24.9 years, reflecting the increasing influence of fresh talent on the badminton scene.
The trend of young players making their mark is even more pronounced in Women’s Singles.

Despite his relatively young age of 31, five-time World champion Lin Dan is considered the veteran in this list. His consistency and skill continue to make him a strong contender for the upcoming BWF World Championships, despite periodic absences from the court.
