#2 Tai Tzu Ying
Tai Tzu Ying is a special player – not just because of her enormous success – but also because of the way she achieves it. She is undoubtedly the most skilful player in singles badminton today and possesses a vast array of shots. She has shown the ability to play the most audacious shots with utmost ease which has left fans around the world spellbound.
She often makes her opponents look helpless thanks to the ability to play accurate and unbeatable shots from the most awkward positions. The flexible wrists and the ability to deceive the opponents are major weapons in her arsenal. The only downside of her seemingly nonchalant play is the tendency she has shown, at times, of becoming complacent and committing major errors.
However, earlier this year she showed great fighting ability in a couple of key matches and fought back from difficult situations to emerge victorious. If she retains her focus and tightens up her game, this badminton wizard could be unstoppable.
