She finished as runner-up after losing to Chen Yufei in two straight games.[33] In her fourth straight All England Open finals this year, she won the coveted title for the third time, thereby becoming only third female player after Xie Xingfang (2005, 2006 and 2007) and Tine Baun (2008, 2010 and 2013) to clinch three titles by contesting 4 finals at this tournament. In the final, she beat Chen Yufei with the score of 21–19, 21–15, with this, she avenged her last year defeat to Chen at this stage.[4][34]

Playing styleEdit

Tai plays an offensive game, with many calling her style unpredictable and often spontaneous. She is a very adventurous player with a disguised nature of shots, seemingly able to hit the shuttle from just about anywhere with a great range of shots and angles. Also remarkable is her very relaxed hitting action.

She has a strong backhand and good net-play, while her biggest fault is being inconsistent at times. Tai also has strong stamina, being muscular with a six-pack. Tai herself said that she does not follow a certain play or style, and focuses on herself rather than her opponent or any strategies. Tai has clocked fast smashes, with one of the fastest recorded being 360 km/h at the 2016 All England Open quarterfinals,[35] despite her preference of playing slowly to set up shots.

Tai's prodigious talent and deceptive shot-making has earned compliments of many, including BWF commentator Gillian Clark, who often compliments her talented shot-making and has said that Tai is one of the best players to watch in women's singles.
