Zhang Shuxian (Chinese: 张殊贤; Zhāng Shūxián; born 2 January 2000) is a Chinese badminton player.[1]
Career[edit]
Early career[edit]
Zhang attended Luzhou Zilu Road School. Later, she was recommended by the city sports school to enter the Sichuan badminton team training, and was transferred to the Sichuan team as an official member in 2016, and was selected for the Chinese national youth team in the same year. In July 2017, Zhang represented China for the first time in the international competition at the 2017 Asian Junior Championships and reached the quarter-finals of the women's doubles. She also participated at the World Junior Championships in 2017 and 2018, winning gold medals in the team event, and also bronze medals in the girls' (2017) and mixed doubles events (2018).[2]
2022[edit]
Starting from 2022, Zhang partnered with Zheng Yu and finished as the runners-up at the All England Open, Malaysia Open and Singapore Open, before finally winning the Australian Open.[3] As a result, the pair qualified for the year-end final. They reached the semi-finals before bowing out to compatriots Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan.[4]
2023[edit]
In the first half of the 2023 season, Zhang did not win any title with Zheng Yu. The duo opened the year by reaching the semi-finals of the BWF Super 1000 tournament, the Malaysia Open, but was stunned by Korean pairing Baek Ha-na and Lee Yu-lim.[5] Other semi-finals finished were at the All England and the Singapore Opens.[6] Zhang and Zheng also reached the quarter-finals in the India, Swiss, and Indonesia Opens. During the 2023 Indonesia Masters, Zhang partnered Liu Shengshu, the reigning World Junior Champion in two categories. They eventually won the title.[7] Zhang was also part of the China winning squad in the Sudirman Cup. Their achievement was able to bring them up to 2nd place in the BWF rankings. In August, Zhang and Zheng finished as semi-finalists in the BWF World Championships, losing to their compatriots Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan. The defeat exacerbated the head-to-head record over Chen and Jia to 0–6.[8]
