My Take
At 193 cm, Liu Yuchen is a genuine physical anomaly in men's doubles, and watching him work is a lesson in turning size into a weapon. The Beijing-born shuttler was 2018 World Champion, a two-time Asian Champion, and took silver at the Tokyo Olympics alongside Li Junhui. Reaching the top of China's notoriously deep doubles pool is an achievement in itself, never mind the Thomas Cup and Sudirman Cup team titles. What impresses me is the balance: that towering smash gets the headlines, but the soft touch at the net is what made the partnership lethal. He is proof that height, used well, is its own art form.
