The Thai shuttler’s defensive style and composure dismantled Shi’s attacking game, leaving the Chinese unable to find his footing. It follows the world champion’s recent wins over some of badminton’s elite, including the world No.1 HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2024 winner.
“Shi's a top player and a fighter. I must try my best when I play the best,” said Vitidsarn.
The 23-year-old downplayed his growing stature in the sport, choosing instead to focus on steady progress.
