Even for someone with the maverick gifts and eventful career of Tai Tzu Ying, there was something about the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2020 victory that stood out.
It wasn’t just that she’d won her third season finale; not just that she’d had her biggest win since the All England of 2020.
Context was everything. Twice in the previous two weeks she had gone down tamely to Carolina Marin. The first, in the final of the YONEX Thailand Open, she explained away as not being her best physically. After the second defeat, in the TOYOTA Thailand Open, she had little to say except offer her stock reply on unforced errors.
