Ratchanok Intanon secured the 600th win of her professional career on September 2, 2026, defeating Taiwan’s Tung Ciou-Tong in straight sets during the Women’s Singles Round of 32 at the LI-NING China Masters. According to reporting from Tribunnews.com, the Thai badminton star needed just 39 minutes at the Shenzhen Dayun Arena to dispatch her opponent 21-16, 21-14, reaching a historic career milestone verified by Badminton Ranks.
Milestone Victory at the Shenzhen Dayun Arena
Intanon opened her campaign at the BWF World Tour event with a controlled performance against Tung Ciou-Tong on September 2, 2026. Flashscore.com.au data confirms the final scoreline finished 21-16 and 21-14 in favor of the experienced Thai competitor. The straight-games triumph safely advanced Intanon into the Round of 16 while simultaneously cementing a rare statistical threshold in women’s badminton. According to Badminton Ranks data cited by Tribunnews.com, the victory makes Intanon the first women’s singles player in their tracking history to reach the 600-win milestone. The achievement arrives after years of competing at the highest levels of the sport against an elite generation of international rivals.
Surpassing Tai Tzu Ying and Historic Peers
With her 600th victory, Intanon moved past several legendary names in the sport, including her idol, Tai Tzu Ying. Tribunnews.com reports that Tai finished her career with 580 wins before hanging up her racket as a former world number one from Taiwan. Because Tai has retired from competitive play, her win total remains fixed at 580, leaving Intanon 20 victories clear of her longtime inspiration. The historical rankings compiled by Badminton Ranks also feature other prominent world-class competitors who have sustained long careers at the top tier. Further down the historical lists, Indonesian legend Susi Susanti holds the 16th position with 427 career wins, according to Tribunnews.com.
