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

Overview

The China Masters badminton tournament concluded with An Se-young securing the women’s singles title. The world number one, An Se-young, defeated Japan’s Tomoka Miyazaki in straight sets (21-17, 21-6) in the final held in Shenzhen.

Miyazaki, ranked ninth in the world, reached the championship match after an upset victory over China’s Wang Zhiyi in the semifinals. However, An Se-young maintained dominance throughout the second game to claim the victory.

This win marks An Se-young’s third consecutive China Masters title and her second consecutive major title following the World Championships. The victory is part of a highly successful season for the South Korean player, who maintains a 97.96% win rate.

In her 2026 campaign, this victory represents An’s seventh individual title of the season. She completed the tournament without dropping a single game and extended her head-to-head record against Miyazaki to 8-0. This win serves as momentum for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where An aims to become the first Korean badminton player to defend a women’s singles gold medal.
