“Now that the curtain has come down on a truly remarkable partnership, it’s time to reflect on Zheng Si Wei and Huang Ya Qiong’s extraordinary career statistics as a pair.

⏺️ Started their partnership with a win at the 2017 Macau Grand Prix Gold and finished their partnership with a win at the #WorldTourFinals2024. There can’t be many pairs to start and finish a partnership with wins.

⏺️ Reached the final of their first 6 tournaments together and became WR4 after just 7 tournaments, and WR1 after 10 tournaments.

⏺️ In 2018 they won the Super 750 Grand Slam – all 5 #WorldTour (WT) 750 events.

⏺️ In 2019 they won the Super 1000 Grand Slam – all 3 WT 1000 events.

⏺️ In 2022 won 10 titles from 12 tournaments played and enjoyed a 38-match winning streak

⏺️ 2 Olympic Medals – 1 x Gold, 1 x Silver 🥇🥈

⏺️ Reached 4 World Championship finals – winning 3 Golds, 1 Silver 🥇🥇🥇🥈

⏺️ Won 2 consecutive Asian Games Gold Medals🥇🥇

⏺️ 5 Badminton Asia Championship medals 🥇🥈🥉🥉🥉

⏺️ Won 3 All England titles from 4 finals🥇🥇🥇🥈

⏺️ Contested 5 finals at the #WTFinals from 5 appearances winning a record 4 MxD titles 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥈

⏺️ World number 1 for a total of 241 weeks (excluding when the ranking was frozen).

⏺️ Won more Superseries, Grand Prix Gold and WT titles than any other pair in any of the doubles disciplines
(Finals)(Titles – RU)
Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong (44)(36-8)
Gideon/Sukamuljo (38)(30-8)
Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan (38)(29-9)
Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (36)(28-8)

⏺️ They played a total of 74 international tournaments, reached 54 finals, winning 43 titles (one more title than Kim Dong Moon and Ra Kyung Min). Which means they:-
🔴 Reached the final in 73% of all tournaments played.
🔴 Won 58% of all tournaments played.
🔴 Won 79.6% of all finals contested.

Truly astonishing statistics.
And let’s not forget they were both highly successful in previous partnerships.
Their on-court brilliance as a pair will be sorely missed.
