Li’s Flame Burning Bright
“I will treat it as my last ever match in this tournament. I will give it my absolute best.”

That was the promise Li Shi Feng made his fans after surviving a gruelling 73-minute test against veteran Chou Tien Chen at the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2024 last night.
The 18-21 21-14 21-13 win puts Li back in the running for a semifinal spot after he lost his Group A opener in 58 minutes to Anders Antonsen on Wednesday. Victory over the already-qualified Lee Zii Jia in today's round-robin finale – without dropping a game – could see him through. That would be a significant improvement on his group-stage outing at his debut Finals last year.
“No matter win or lose, I will show what I have and what I’m capable of,” said the 24-year-old.
