The Chinese Taipei ace has been nursing a knee injury and took the court only once during her team’s campaign at the Uber Cup. Her last individual campaign was at the Badminton Asia Championships 2024 in April. With the Olympics fast approaching, Tai will seek to shore up her seeding with a strong performance in Indonesia. The world No.5, who has won the Indonesia Open thrice, faces Goh Jin Wei in the opener.
In the top quarter, No.1 An Se Young, who too has been affected by a knee injury in recent months, faces rising Japanese prospect Tomoka Miyazaki.
Another star afflicted by injury, Akane Yamaguchi, will also be in action in Indonesia, with a first round against Sung Shuo Yun.
