The Japanese great’s all-time record haul of 11 titles over a season was equalled by Korea’s An Se Young as she became the first women’s singles player to achieve the feat. Not long after, her compatriots Kim Won Ho/Seo Seung Jae too raked in their 11th title of 2025, with Seo individually claiming his 12th – the other title coming from his association with a different player, Jin Yong.
Kim/Seo’s final win capped a memorable evening for Korea as they claimed three titles from the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2025, with Baek Ha Na/Lee So Hee having prevailed in the women’s doubles.
