Finals of the World Championships set for Sunday's agenda

The World Championships of badminton, set to conclude on Sunday at Porte de la Chapelle, promise an exciting finish as world-class players compete for top honours.

In the men's singles event, world number one Shi Yu Qi will vie for the title. The Chinese player has already defeated Christo Popov in the round of 16, but struggled in the semifinals, leaving the outcome of the final uncertain. Kunlavut Vitidsarn, currently ranked third, will be Shi Yu Qi's opponent in the final.

The men's doubles event will see the defending champion, Seo Seung Jae, defend his title. The Korean player, who is also the reigning world champion in both men's and mixed doubles, has not yet faced his semifinal opponents, as the results were not provided in the text.

The women's singles event saw a surprising turn of events when Chen Yu Fei, a Chinese player, ended the run of world number one An Se-Young. The identity of Chen Yu Fei's potential opponent in the final round is yet to be determined, as the search results do not provide information on who will face her after being eliminated by An Se-Young.

However, the women's doubles event is set for an exciting final, with Akane Yamaguchi, a two-time champion, facing off against Chen Yu Fei for her first title.

The L'Equipe channel and L'Equipe Live will broadcast the semifinal matches of the World Championships, ensuring that fans can catch all the action live. Unfortunately, no French players will be competing on the final day, as previously mentioned. Delphine Delrue and Thom Gicquel were eliminated in the mixed doubles semifinals.

The doubles events will feature world number ones competing in both the men's and women's draws, adding to the excitement of the final day. The World Championships promise to be a thrilling conclusion to the badminton season, with the final matches set to be played in both men's and women's doubles events.
