Later in April, she won her first title against Akane Yamaguchi in the Badminton Asia Championships held in Wuhan, China, marking a sixth consecutive title. It was also the first gold medal for Taiwan in this competition. Later, she added more to her tally by winning French open followed by Hong Kong open by defeating Akane Yamaguchi and PV Sindhu respectively. She has been dominant in all her finals winning 4 out of 5 in straight sets. The Taiwanese shuttler has not lost any of the final in 2017.
Premier Badminton League will be total different thing for her. As many top shuttlers fail to create a mark in the league. Being a dominant force in women singles this year it would be interesting to see how this ace shuttler performs in her maiden PBL season being an icon player for Ahmedabad Smash Masters.
