An Se-young wins 2026 China Masters women's singles title

World No. 1 An Se-young secured her third consecutive China Masters title at the Shenzhen Arena, defeating Japan’s Tomoka Miyazaki in the women’s singles final with a score of 21-17, 21-6. This victory marks An’s seventh individual title of the season and continues her dominant form, as she completed the tournament without dropping a single game.

Before the final, Miyazaki reached the championship match after a significant upset victory over China’s Wang Zhiyi in the semifinals. Despite Miyazaki’s aggressive play in the opening game, An maintained control to secure the win, extending her head-to-head record against Miyazaki to 8-0.

This victory serves as a key momentum builder for An ahead of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where she aims to become the first Korean badminton player to defend a women’s singles gold medal.
