Biography 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.

Career In 2023, Angela partnered with Setyana Mapasa. She won her first World Tour title with Setyana at the 2023 Kaohsiung Masters. The duo then won the Bendigo International and the Sydney International. In 2024, Angela and Setyana reached the semi-finals of the 2024 Swiss Open but lost to Hsu Ya-ching and Lin Wan-ching.
