Career
In 2009 Tang Jianhua won the World Junior girls double title with partner Xia Huan in Alor Setar, Malaysia. A year later in Guadalajara, Mexico they nearly repeated this success but fell in the finals to compatriots Bao Yixin and Ou Dongni. Tang and Xia also won girls' doubles at both the 2009 and 2010 Asian Junior Championships before graduating into elite level women's competition. In October 2010, the young partnership reached the final of the Vietnam Open Grand Prix and in December they won their first Grand Prix level title at the India Grand Prix where Tang also copped the mixed doubles title with partner Liu Peixuan.In September of 2011, Tang and Xia won their first Super Series title at the China Masters, one of a BWF tour of tournaments rated behind only the World Championships and the Olympic Games in prestige. In 2011 they also reached the semi-finals of the Grand Prix Gold level Korea Open and the finals of the Super Series Premier level China Open.
In 2012, Tang Jinhua and Xia Huan won the Grand Prix Gold level German Open and Swiss Open. At the prestigious Super Series Premier All England Championships they advanced to the semifinals before falling to compatriots Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang. In June Tang and Xia were disappointed at the Thailand Open when, as tops seeds, they were upset in the semifinals by a scratch Thai pairing but Tang Jinhua rebounded from this loss by winning mixed doubles at the same tournament, and from an unseeded position, with partner Tao Jiaming. In October Tang formed a new partnership with the already highly accomplished Ma Jin and they won back to back women's doubles titles at the Denmark Open Super Series Premier and the French Open Super Series.
Tang Jinhua's most successful years were 2013 and 2014. 2013 brought her solid if not spectacular results with Ma Jin as they finished second to Chinese compatriots at the Super Series Premier Korea Open, the China Masters Super Series, and the Badminton Asia Championships, and to a Korean pairing at the German Open, before claiming victory at the Yonex Open Japan Super Series in September. At the end of 2013, Tang and Ma somewhat surprisingly lost the final of the Super Series Masters Finals to the Danish pair of Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl. Tang's results with Ma Jin, however, were completely overshadowed by her success with new partner Bao Yixin beginning in October of 2013. In rapid succession the two 21-year-olds claimed titles at the Dutch Open Grand Prix, the Denmark Super Series Premier, the French Super Series, the Hong Kong Super Series and the Macao Open Grand Prix Gold, all before the end of the year. Of the first 28 matches they played the new pairing lost only once. In first four months 2014, Tang Jinhua & Bao Yixin won the Korea Open Super Series, the Malaysia Super Series Premier, the Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold and the Singapore Super Series. Tang Jinhua was also part of the Chinese Uber Cup winning team in 2014. Together with Women's Doubles partner Bao Yixin she reached the number one spot of the BWF World Ranking on 29 May 2014.
In 2015, she won the China Masters Grand Prix Gold tournament with Zhong Qianxin. For the Superseries tournament, She won the Indonesia Open with Tian Qing, and French Open with Huang Yaqiong. In 2016, she and Huang won the German Open Grand Prix Gold tournament, beat the Thai pairs Puttita Supajirakul and Sapsiree Taerattanachai.
