The Badminton India Open schedule for today (2026.1.18) shows China fighting for the championship with a contest for the top two spots, broadcast live on CCTV Video and Youku.

Five finals are scheduled for today, with China competing in two matches; details are shown in the image below.

1. At 1:30 PM today, the women's doubles match features Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning versus Fukushima Yuki/Matsumoto Mayu.
2. At 2:20 PM today, the women's singles match pits Wang Zhiyi against An Se-young.

Event Preview

1. Firstly, China only has two singles events advancing to the finals in this tournament, which is somewhat disappointing. We look forward to stronger performances in upcoming matches—keep pushing! For this tournament, China must fight hard to claim the championship; there is no guarantee of winning. We anticipate strong efforts from the Chinese players.
2. The women's doubles team of Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning has a chance to win the title but must improve their consistency to avoid being overturned, as this has happened multiple times before. Women's doubles is currently China's best shot at a championship in this event.
3. In women's singles, Wang Zhiyi faces An Se-young. In the last Malaysia Open final, these two also competed, and Wang Zhiyi already put pressure on An Se-young. We hope Wang can win today, although the odds are not very high.
