After last year's Paris Olympics, the Korean Badminton Federation tried to form a men's doubles team with different players, with Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae both partnering Jin-ryong and Kang Min-hyuk, but now they are now the strongest men's doubles pair in South Korea with the re-winning duo of Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho.

The pair have competed in three tournaments since they started working together in January, winning the Malaysian Badminton Super 1000 Championship, then finishing runners-up at the Indian Super 750 Championship, and then winning the German Super 300 again last weekend.

World No. 80 Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae defeated France's world No. 23 brothers Thomas and Christo 21-19, 21-17 in the men's doubles final of the 2025 German Open on the 2nd. Popov.

When Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho played the India Open, they were paired with other teammates under the arrangement of the Korean Badminton Association, and Kim Won-ho and Kang Min-hyuk reached the quarterfinals of the Super 500 in Indonesia and the Super 300 in Thailand. Although Seo Seung-jae teamed up with Jin-ryong to stop in the first round of the Super 500 in Indonesia, he won the Super 300 in Thailand.

As a result, Seo Seung-jae, who became the men's doubles and mixed doubles world champion two years ago, has won three titles so far this year. Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho then reunited in Europe, where they will compete in the Orleans Super 300 this week and the All England next week.

In the Women's Doubles final, Japan's Mochizuki Otake and Miyu Takahashi defeated Bulgarian sisters Gabriela and Stephanie 21-17, 20-22, 21-12. The international pair of Tabelin (Netherlands) and Boer (Denmark) defeated Indonesia's new pair Rehan and Gloria 21-17, 21-12 in the mixed doubles final.

In singles, Denmark's two-time Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen won the German Open men's singles title for the first time; Singapore's Yang Jia Min became the first player in the country's history to win the event.

World No. 4 Viktor Axelsen defeated former world champion Loh Kean Yew, ranked 15th in the men's singles final, 21-19, 21-18, winning all seven meetings between the two sides and 11 of 13 meetings.

Axelsen, who has previously competed in the German Open six times (2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2022 and 2024), finally won the tournament for the first time and his second title of the year after the India Open in January.

Yang Jiamin created the history of the Lion City after the closure. Although Loh Chian Yew failed to win the title, teammate Yeo Jia Min took a breath of relief for Singapore in the Women's Singles, where world No. 13 defeated Vietnam's world No. 29 Nguyen Trai Linh 21-16, 21-17 to win her fourth of five meetings.

It was Yang's first World Tour title and made history as the first Singaporean player to win the German Open in its 70-year history. Yang Jiamin also has a career-best record, with her previous best results coming in Vietnam and Hyderabad Super 100 tournaments. She also broke a two-year title drought, having last won the Polish International Challenge in March 2023.
