2014: World Champion, Second Superseries Finals title and World #1

[edit]

Chen started the year with a victory againstLee Chong Weiin theKorean Open.[54]Then, he was unable to defend hisAll Englandtitle as he lost toLee Chong Weiin the finals.[55]He subsequently lost in theIndian Openfinals to the same opponent.[56]In May, Chen played first singles for China at the2014 Thomas Cup.They were unable to defend their title as they lost 0–3 to Japan in the semifinals.[57]Chen took the blame for the surprise loss of the Chinese Team, casting doubt on his ability to deposeLin Danas China's MS 'big brother'. 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. Despite a slow start to the year, Chen's 2014 was characterised by his first-everWorld Championship,solid victories at theDenmark OpenandSuper Series Masters Finals,and for the first time achieving the rank of World No.1.[64]

2015: Seven tour titles, Second All England, World Championships and Sudirman Cup titles

[edit]

Starting the year as World No.1, Chen's first tournament of the season was the2015 All England Super Series Premier,considered as the most reputable Super Series Premier title.

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. Victory overViktor Axelsenat the2015 Australian Super Seriesfinal with a score of 21–12, 14–21, 21-18 put Chen back in winning shape.[70]This was followed by a quarter-finals exit at the2015 Indonesia Super Series Premier,a tournament in which Chinese players routinely lose during the early stages.[71]However, Chen would rediscover his form in the2015 Chinese Taipei Open Grand Prix Goldwith a victory over home favoriteChou Tien-chen.[72]

He would then defend his World Championship title at the2015 BWF World Championshipsheld in Jakarta. 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]

In October, Chen continued his fine form by defeatingTommy Sugiartoin the final to win theDenmark Super Series Premier.[75]This was Chen's 8th Super Series title, bringing his total SS (including Premier) tally to 16 and year-to-date titles to 7, the most he has achieved in one season. In November 2015, Chen reached theChina Openfinal without losing a single set, however, a resurgentLee Chong Weiproved tough to beat, losing the finals in two straight sets 21–15, 21–11, halting his 7 straight finals win in 2015.[76]In December 2015, Chen made the semi-finals of the Super Series Finals in Dubai.[77]

[edit]

At the delayed2020 Tokyo Olympics,Chen's first tournament of the year, he managed to reach the final after defeatingRaul Must[126]andPablo Abian[127]in the group stage,Lee Zii Jiain the Round of 16,[128][129]Chou Tien-chenin the quarter-finals[130]andAnthony Gintingin the semi-finals.[131][132]However, in the final, he was not able to overcomeViktor Axelsen,thus failing to defend his title from 2016.[133][134]Fans expressed disappointment towards Chen Long for losing to Axelsen, despite defeating Ginting in the semi finals. At the same time, fans praised him for being good sports even when facing defeat. Zhang Jun, the President of theChinese Badminton Association,then revealed that Chen's less-than-ideal performance may have been due to a blister on the ball of his foot that had developed during the group stage of the competition and it was so bad that he could not run. He added that he was touched by Chen’s fighting spirit to continue playing. This news created a ripple of concern and worry towards his physical health, as he was already battling with previous back injuries.[135]In September, Chen participated in theChinese National Championshipsand declared that it will be his last.[136]

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. The decision came after thoughtful discussions with his family, as Chen recognised the importance of prioritising the well-being of his loved ones and the pursuit of a more balanced family life. These factors played a significant role in influencing his choice to retire from the national team, marking the end of his illustrious badminton career.[137]

Personal life

[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.
