On December 4, the Badminton World Federation officially announced that the defending champion Akane Yamaguchi withdrew from the upcoming World Badminton ** Finals to be held in Hangzhou, China from December 13 to 17 due to injury.

In addition to many famous players of the Chinese badminton team, players from other countries and regions also have strong strength and competitiveness.
