It’s been a long journey, but Wang Zhi Yi never lost hope of returning to a major match at an HSBC BWF World Tour event. After finishing as the runner-up at the Singapore Open in July last year, Wang couldn’t have predicted the wait for another final appearance. Despite only reaching one semifinal in the last 20 tournaments, Wang remained determined and emerged as the victor in the CLASH OF CLANS Arctic Open 2023 powered by YONEX semifinal against Pusarla V. Sindhu.
Preparation was key for Wang as she analyzed Sindhu’s recent matches, leading to her 21-12 11-21 21-7 victory. Wang attributed her success to the valuable lessons she learned from every win and loss during the past year. She emphasized the importance of self-belief, patience, and faith in achieving her goals.
