I feel so happy, as this is my first title in the tournament of the Super 1000 level, and I will keep trying to replicate this kind of result,” said Chou Tien Chen to Djarumbadminton.com

The world’s No. 3 Men’s singles player looked very emotional when he was celebrating. Chou even showed tears of happiness after securing the title of this tournament.
