Career summary

Ou made his debut in an international tournament by competing at the 2013 China Masters.[3] In 2017, he clinched his first international title by winning the mixed doubles title at the Indonesia International Series tournament partnered with Liu Lin.[4]

Ou started the 2018 season by competing at the Lingshui China Masters, and finished as the semi-finalist in the mixed doubles event partnered with Chen Lu.[5] He then won the men's doubles title at the U.S. Open teamed up with Ren Xiangyu, and also the runner-up at the Singapore Open. Together with Feng Xueying, he won the mixed doubles title at the Syed Modi International, which is a Super 300 BWF tournament.[6]

From 2022, Ou started a new partnership with the reigning Olympic silver medalist Liu Yuchen. In the Indonesia Open, the duo beat Korea's Choi Sol-gyu and Kim Won-ho to become the first men’s doubles pair from the reserves’ list to win a Super 1000 title.[7] They qualified to compete at the World Tour Finals and emerged victorious after beating Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan in the final.[8] As a result he broke into the top ten for the first time in his career.[9]

In 2023, Ou and Liu helped the national team reach the final of the Sudirman Cup. Facing former world no.1 pair Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi in the semi-finals while Japan was leading the tie 2–1, Ou and Liu saved four match points being 16–20 down and converting their first to keep China alive in the tie. They eventually got into the final. Ou said after the match, "During the third game after the interval, I rushed a bit and all my shots went long. When we were match point down, I was calm as we were sure to lose the game. Liu Yu Chen just told me to play my game." Compatriot and world no.1 Jia Yifan said after she won the deciding rubber, "We wouldn’t be here if not for the men’s doubles, they did a great job."[10] Ultimately, the Chinese national team went on to win the 2023 Sudirman Cup.[11]

Ou competed in the men's doubles event at the 2024 Summer Olympics with Liu but were eliminated in the group stage.[12] On 20 August 2024, Ou retired from international badminton.[13]
