#1 Tai Tzu Ying
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the 2017 season belonged to Tai Tzu Ying. The Chinese Taipei ace simply continued from where she left last year, winning the first three Superseries titles of the year, apart from the Badminton Asia Championships. Her sizzling form helped her build a fabulous 27-match winning streak that got snapped at the Indonesia Open when she lost to Nitchaon Jindapol.

She somehow lost a bit of her sharpness mid-way through the year, probably because her own exploits finally took a toll on her. But what was more remarkable was that Tai still managed to find her feet towards the end of the season and finished the year on a high by grabbing a couple more Superseries titles.
The World No. 1 etched her name in record books by becoming the only singles player this year to win five Superseries titles.
