The world of badminton continues to witness the dominance of top doubles players, as they challenge their singles counterparts not only on the court but also in terms of earnings. One player who has stood out this year is China’s Chen Qingchen, who has emerged as the second-highest earner, raking in an impressive US$138,139. This places her ahead of renowned singles stars like Lee Chong Wei and Tai Tzu Ying.

Chen’s remarkable earnings can be attributed to her exceptional performances in both her doubles categories throughout the year. Despite playing only one match in the post-World Championships period, which resulted in a first-round loss at the Daihatsu Yonex Japan Open, Chen managed to surpass the earnings of most other top stars. In Mixed Doubles, she earned an impressive US$80,465, while in Women’s Doubles, she accumulated a significant sum of US$57,673.75. Chen’s versatile skills and consistent performances have truly paid off, cementing her position as one of the highest-earning players in the badminton world.

However, Chen is not the only doubles player to have enjoyed financial success this year. Her fellow countrywoman, Huang Yaqiong, also showcased her prowess in both Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles, earning a commendable US$110,855 and securing the fourth spot in the overall earnings ranking. Other notable players who excel in both their doubles categories include Chen’s Mixed Doubles partner Zheng Siwei (US$94,475) and Denmark’s Christinna Pedersen (US$60,674).
