Angela Yu (born 8 March 2003) is an Australian badminton player.[1] She won a gold medal in women's doubles at the 2024 Oceania Badminton Championships. She represented Australia in women's doubles at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Angela was born in Box Hill, Melbourne to former Chinese badminton players Tang Yongshu and Yu Qi. Her brother, Jack Yu is also a badminton player and is part of the Australia national team.[2]
In 2023, Angela partnered with Setyana Mapasa. She won her first World Tour title with Setyana at the 2023 Kaohsiung Masters.[3] The duo then won the Bendigo International and the Sydney International.[4] In 2024, Angela and Setyana reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Swiss Open but lost to Hsu Ya-ching and Lin Wan-ching.[5] Angela and Setyana also reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Australian Open and became the first Australians to reach the women's doubles semi-finals at the home tournament since 2009.
The duo earned enough ranking points to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics women's doubles event. Although they did not proceed to the knockout stages, they did win against Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa in the group stage to salvage a point and place third in the group.
