Zhao Tingting (simplified Chinese:赵婷婷;traditional Chinese:趙婷婷;pinyin:Zhào Tíngtíng; born 28 November 1982) is a Chinesebadminton player fromNantong,Jiangsu.[1]
A doubles specialist, Zhao has often been a "utility player" onChina's national team, winning international tournaments with a variety of compatriots who typically partner someone else. She has won women's doubles at theDenmark (2002, 2004) andThailand (2003) Opens withWei Yili; theFrench (2002),China (2008), andHong Kong (2008) Opens withZhang Yawen; theSwiss Open (2007) andAsian Championships (2007) withYang Wei; and at theChina Open (2007) withGao Ling. She has also captured mixed doubles titles at theThailand (2003) andDenmark (2004) Opens withChen Qiqiu, and at theHong Kong Open (2006) withZheng Bo.
Zhao was a women's doubles silver medalist withWei Yili at the2003 IBF World Championships inBirmingham, England, dropping the final to compatriotsGao Ling andHuang Sui, and a mixed doubles bronze medalist withChen Qiqiu at the same tournament. At the2004 Olympics in Athens she just missed a medal by finishing fourth in women's doubles with Wei Yili and losing in the quarterfinals of mixed doubles with Chen Qiqiu.[2] Zhao was not selected to compete in the2008 Beijing Olympics, a victim of China's great depth in women's badminton and rules that limit the number of Olympic entries from any one country. However, 2009 proved to be her most successful year as Zhao won both the prestigiousAll-England andBWF World Championships in women's doubles with Zhang Yawen. With these achievements, she reportedly retired from the Chinese team at the end of the 2009 season.
