China's top-ranked mixed doubles pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping cemented their dominance in global badminton this week, securing their eighth title of 2025 at the BWF World Tour Finals in Hangzhou. The world number one duo defeated compatriots Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin 21-12, 21-17 in Sunday's final, thrilling a packed home crowd at the season-ending championship.
Feng and Huang demonstrated tactical superiority from the outset, capitalizing on their opponents' errors to claim the first game decisively. The second game saw intense rallies, including a marathon 32-shot exchange that shifted momentum decisively. Huang's victory marks her second World Tour Finals crown, having previously triumphed in 2018 with former partner Wang Yilyu.
This season's performance solidifies China's badminton leadership ahead of major 2026 competitions, with Feng and Huang now holding three consecutive championships. Their consistent results this year highlight the depth of China's sports development program and its ability to nurture world-class athletic partnerships.
