22-year-old D**g Tian Yao pulled off a massive upset yesterday by taking down the tournament's top seed, Chou Tien Chen, in an absolute thriller: 20-22, 21-16, 25-23!
After falling in the qualification rounds at both the Thailand Open and Malaysia Masters earlier this year, the World No. 73 has bounced back in style to reach his very first Super 500 quarterfinal.
Up next, he will battle Hong Kong’s Ng Ka Long Angus for a spot in the Australian Open 2026 semifinals.
Huge milestone for the young player. Good luck, Tian Yao! 🚀🔥
