The 22-year-old talks of her childhood years, lockdown life and recent form:
Father liked to play badminton. He learned a lot by listening to others and did it with me, and in the first years he was my coach. I have an older brother, so we play a lot together.
We are a family of badminton lovers. Even on vacations, we would play badminton. I play badminton a lot (professionally), but it is still a kind of hobby for me, I also play for fun when I’m at home, doubles with friends. So badminton is a huge topic at home.
