Badminton fan from LD/LCW era, started following badminton again after the 2024 Olympics

Noticed Liang Wei Keng resting on the bench during intervals. I rarely see Japanese or Korean players do that—they’re usually standing while listening to their coaches’ instructions.

Is it a cultural thing, or just personal preference?

Watched 3 Shida/Igarashi matches. Honestly, they were quite boring.

The pair still look out of sync, and they lacked creativity.

But a win is a win. It doesn’t have to be pretty.

Kie Nakanishi looks serious on court, then suddenly does a little twirl after a bad lift.

Best point from Day 1. Shi Yu Qi vs Kenta Nishimoto. #shiyuqi #西本拳太 #SingaporeOpen2026

Victor Lai’s diving defence shot. Go Victor! #SingaporeOpen2026 #victorlai

The Korean coach was really intense today. Kept shouting instructions from the sidelines throughout the match.

I guess Lee So Hee is completely used to it by now—she barely seemed to react. #SingaporeOpen2026

First time watching Sayaka Hobara play live.

She was all over the court. 😂 It honestly looked like she was playing women’s doubles inside a mixed doubles match. #保原彩夏 #SingaporeOpen2026

The Korean players are built differently.

Big physiques and long reach - once they step onto the court, they already look intimidating. Feels like they’ve won half the battle before the match even starts. #anseyoung #leesohee

@BWFScore Best match of the day. Akane and Intanon proving that women’s singles is far from boring. Pure quality badminton from start to finish.

Look at Shi Yu Qi’s leg muscles. #石宇奇 #SingaporeOpen2026

Saw three players get injured this week: Toh Ee Wei, Dechapol, and Kie Nakanishi. Dechapol needed a spray on his back and then couldn’t really play towards the end.
Really hoping all three are okay and can make a quick recovery.

Best match of Round of 16. So much drama. Popov vs Chi Yu Jen. #Popov #SingaporeOpen

[strawberrymilkshake @spaghetticash]

Akane's trademark minimal celebration and Intanon's fan service afterward. Both of them are just too adorable.

Best match of Day 4 at the Singapore Open, and it’s not even close.

Akane Yamaguchi vs Ratchanok Intanon was badminton at its finest—endless rallies, incredible court coverage, deceptive shot-making, and two veterans constantly trying to outsmart each other.
