Chen's poor start to the season continued deep into the summer, when he saw early-round knockouts in theJapan OpentoHu YunofHong Kong[58]andIndonesian OpentoDenmark'sJan Ø. Jørgensen.[59]
However, his fortune reversed at the most important competition of the year. On 31 August, Chen defeatedLee Chong Weiin the finals with a score of 21–19, 21–19 to win his first-ever World Championship title at2014 BWF World Championshipsheld in Copenhagen, breaking his 7-month title drought.[60]He would then continue this excellent form for the rest of the season, defeatingSon Wan-hoin the final of the2014 Denmark Super Series Premier,his 6th Super Series Premier title to date and first of the year.[61]He would also make the finals of the2014 Hong Kong Super Series.[62]Chen ended the season on a high note after winning the2014 BWF Super Series Masters Finalsin Dubai, boasting a 3–0 record in the Group Stage and defeatingHans-Kristian Vittinghus21–16, 21–10 in the final.[63]With this victory, Chen ascended to World No.1, dethroning rivalLee Chong Weiand achieving the title of Year-End No.1 on theBWF World Ranking.[64]This marked the first time in 6 years that a player other thanLee Chong Weiended the year at the coveted No.1 ranking.

A second-round exit toHu Yunat the2015 Singapore Super Series[68]and a semi-final loss at theBadminton Asia Championshipsto compatriotTian Houweiby way of walkover put a stop to Chen's tournament-winning streak.[69]In May, Chen was part of the Chinese team that won the Sudirman Cup.

Chen reached the final of the championships with ease, winning in 2 sets over each of his opponents, including Japanese rising star and then-World No.4Kento Momota21–9, 21–15 in the semi-finals. In a rematch of the 2014 final, Chen was again victorious over rivalLee Chong Wei,successfully defending his World Champion title with an easier scoreline of 21–14, 21–17.[73]This marked the second World Championship title for Chen, which secured him the position of Year-End No. 1, again. Chen would follow this up with another Super Series victory at the2015 Korea Open Super Series,during which he defeated unseededAjay Jayaram21–14, 21–13 in the final.[74]

Retirement
[edit]After not competing on tour since the pandemic-induced postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Chen, at the age of 34, officially declared his retirement from professional badminton.

[edit]Chen married former World No.1 badminton playerWang Shixianin 2017, after over a decade together.[138]Wang gave birth to a son in June 2019.[139]
Chen Long's surnameKhamwas actually pronounced Shèn[140]but the word kham is pronounced chén when not used as a surname. As a result of this, mispronunciation happens a lot, and early in his career when he enrolled in China's athlete system his surname was registered incorrectly as Chen. He tried to correct it but failed because of bureaucracy and finally let go of it.
