Instead, the Rio 2016 Olympic silver medallist is chasing something that, for him, still feels as high as ever – the winning feeling.

Tan and Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub Azriyn continued their remarkable LI-NING China Masters 2026 run on Friday, battling past sixth seeds Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani 21-17 16-21 21-19 to reach only their third HSBC BWF World Tour semifinal as a pair, and their first since Kumamoto Masters 2024.

And in the process, Tan became the oldest semifinalist in tournament history.
