Li, reflecting on her first-round win over Yeo Jia Min with a score of 21-19, 13-21, 21-9, confidently stated, “I want to win.” When asked if she aims to win the tournament, she responded with a resounding “Oh yeah, 100 per cent.”
Her optimism is well-founded. Not only did Li end a three-year title drought by winning the Canada Open seven months ago, but she also became the Pan Am champion for the sixth time in April. Last week, she showcased her skills in the group matches for Canada at the TotalEnergies Sudirman Cup Finals 2023, impressively stretching Thailand’s Ratchanok Intanon to three games and securing a straight games victory over Yvonne Li.

Despite facing a demanding travel schedule from Canada to Suzhou, Li remains undeterred. She acknowledges the challenges but refuses to use them as excuses for her performances. Instead, she sees traveling and competing as the norm, stating, “I did okay there, I can learn from those matches and carry it on to the next tournaments.”
With her sights set on qualifying for her fourth successive Olympic Games at Paris 2024, Li has assembled a team to support her journey. She emphasizes the importance of analysis and preparation before each match, ensuring readiness regardless of her opponent.
In the second round, Li will face Pornpawee Chochuwong. Although they last played in 2019, Li holds a 2-1 head-to-head lead. However, she doesn’t dwell on past encounters, recognizing Chochuwong’s recent strong performances and regarding her as a top player. Li is committed to being fully prepared for whatever challenges her opponent brings.
