Riko Gunji Badminton: 2026 Results Match by Match

🏸 2026 results

Every 2026 result we record for Riko Gunji, tournament by tournament. Tournament names link to our summary page for that event (draw, the other Japanese entries, and how to follow the broadcast). 🆕The first card is now the Swiss Open in March, where she beat the 8th seed and reached the quarter-finals; the second is the Orleans Masters the following week, where she also reached the last eight as the 7th seed, and the list holds ten events (the last is the Korea Open in November, where she reached the quarter-finals as the 8th seed). The three Swiss Open results were already on our own Swiss Open 2027 page as the 2026 results, while this page still said we held no page at all for January to April — our own site disagreed with itself until we fixed it on 20 September 2026. The three Orleans Masters results come from our own Orleans Masters 2027 page (published on 21 September 2026) in the same way, and we turned them into a card the same day. ⚠️Of our own tournament pages, only two cover an event from the first half of 2026 in its own right — the Japan Ranking Circuit in May and the All Japan Corporate Team Championships in June, and Gunji appears on neither. For the Canada Open in early July we hold no match-by-match scores, so it appears under career highlights instead.

Swiss Open 2026

Super 300・Basel, Switzerland

🆕Added on 20 September 2026: these three results were already on our own Swiss Open 2027 page as the 2026 results, while this page still said we held no page at all for January to April — our own site disagreed with itself. ⚠️The Nippon Badminton Association's day page for 12 March labels the second round "third round"; English Wikipedia and our own tournament page call it the second round. The opponent, the score and the date agree across all three.

🆕Added on 21 September 2026: these three results were already on our own Orleans Masters 2027 page as the 2026 results. The Nippon Badminton Association's day pages for 18 to 20 March and the English Wikipedia draw agree on the opponent, the score and the date.

Gunji was entered for the team event only and did not play the individual event (the 19 May squad announcement listed her as World No. 22). She did not play in the semi-final or final matches we have recorded, and we have not recorded whether she played in the quarter-final against India.

Scores are written from Riko Gunji's point of view (Gunji's points first). Only matches completed by 7 November 2026 are listed. Matches in progress are not listed.

🔥 The same opponent, twice

Gunji played Line CHRISTOPHERSEN (DEN) twice in 2026 — in the Canada Open final in July, and in the first round of the China Masters in September.

Diagram of the two 2026 meetings between Riko Gunji and Line Christophersen of Denmark, labelled in Japanese. Canada Open final on 5 July, Gunji won 21-15, 15-21, 21-6 for her first Super 300 title. China Masters first round on 1 September, Gunji lost 15-21, 21-11, 11-21 in 60 minutes. Both matches went to three games, and the player who took the opening game won. — Riko Gunji's two matches against Line Christophersen in 2026. Scores are written from Gunji's point of view.

5 July, Canada Open final — 21-15, 15-21, 21-6, and her first title at Super 300 level or above. She had beaten home favourite Michelle LI (CAN) in the semi-finals. BWF reported that Japan swept all five titles at that tournament.
1 September, China Masters first round — 15-21, 21-11, 11-21 in 60 minutes against the same player. This time she lost the opening game, levelled the match, and was pulled away from in the decider. (Our China Masters 2026 page.)

Both matches went to three games, and the player who took the opening game won. Michelle Li, whom Gunji beat in the Canada semi-final, was the 13th seed at the 2026 World Championships, where she knocked out Tomoka Miyazaki in the third round. The Canada Open result comes from BWF's own report and her club's official player page — we have no tournament page for that event.

🏸 Two March events, six matches

🆕On 20 September 2026 we added her three results from the Swiss Open in March (BWF World Tour Super 300, St. Jakobshalle, Basel), and on 21 September the three from the Orleans Masters the following week (Super 300, Orléans, France). That takes us to eleven matches for which we hold the score game by game — five wins and six defeats (that runs to the China Masters first round on 1 September; her later matches at the Arctic Open and the Denmark Open are written separately and are not in this count) — and it shows that all five of her wins came in straight games, four of them at these two March events.

A chart of the eleven Riko Gunji results from 2026 for which we hold a score, grouped by tournament and labelled in Japanese. Swiss Open in March, two wins and one defeat for a quarter-final place: first round against Sung Shuo Yun of Chinese Taipei 21-13, 21-10; second round against 8th seed Busanan Ongbamrungphan of Thailand 21-17, 21-14; quarter-final lost 19-21, 18-21 to Nozomi Okuhara.

The Swiss Open first round on 11 March finished 21-13, 21-10, and the China Open first round in July 21-13, 21-12 — both in straight games, and both opening 21-13. ⚠️Our own pages spell the same player two ways: the China Open page uses the Chinese characters read as So Sekigei in Japanese, while our Swiss Open page and the Nippon Badminton Association's day results use SUNG Shuo Yun. They are one player.

🏸The following week, at the Orleans Masters 2026 (Super 300, Orléans, France), she was seeded 7th and again won two of three for a quarter-final place.

18 March, first round — Yvonne LI (GER) 21-12, 21-16.
19 March, second round — YEO Jia Min (SGP) 21-18, 21-14.
20 March, quarter-final — 19-21, 21-12, 16-21 to Pitchamon OPATNIPUTH (THA). She levelled the match 21-12 before losing the decider.

🔁The two players who beat her in the March quarter-finals then met each other in the Orleans Masters final. Nozomi Okuhara had beaten her 19-21, 18-21 in Basel, and Opatniputh, unseeded, 19-21, 21-12, 16-21 in Orléans; Okuhara won the final 21-15, 21-15.

We do not write about why any of this happened — what is listed above is the scores themselves. Sources: our own Swiss Open 2027 page, the Nippon Badminton Association's day-by-day results for the 2026 Swiss Open, and the draw on English Wikipedia. Opponent, score and date agree across all three. The same holds for the three Orleans Masters results, checked against our own Orleans Masters 2027 page, the association's day pages for 18 to 20 March and the English Wikipedia draw for the 2026 Orléans Masters.

📅 What's next

Gunji is out of the China Masters 2026 (Super 750, Shenzhen), beaten in the first round. The All Japan Corporate Championships, held from 4 to 9 September in Nagano, is an event she won in 2024. ⚠️ We have not been able to confirm whether she played in 2026.

At the 2026 Asian Games in Ichinomiya, Aichi (from 20 to 29 September) that followed, Japan's women, with Gunji in the squad, won team silver (she was entered for the team event only, and we have not recorded any match she played). At the Arctic Open in Finland (from 6 to 11 October) she went out in the second round to P. V. Sindhu (IND, 6th seed) 15-21, 15-21 (match by match in the result cards above).

🗓️October in Europe: She is in the Japan squad the Nippon Badminton Association named on 11 September 2026 for the Denmark Open and the French Open. At the Denmark Open 2026 (13–18 October, Denmark, Super 750) she beat WONG Ling Ching (MAS) 19-21, 21-11, 21-19 from a game down in the first round on 14 October, and lost the second round on 15 October to Pornpawee Chochuwong of Thailand, the 8th seed, 21-17, 8-21, 15-21, going out in the second round.

🔍 Keep your own scoresheet

Gunji's wins and her defeats look nothing alike in 2026. Of the eleven matches we had recorded up to 1 September, four went to three games — and all four of those were defeats: she levelled the Orleans Masters quarter-final 21-12 before losing the decider 16-21, lost the Japan Open first round 20-22, 20-22 after taking the opener, and levelled the China Masters first round 21-11 before losing the decider. All five of her wins, by contrast, came in straight games. A win-loss table reads as "quarter-final, quarter-final, first round, second round, first round, first round" and shows none of that. Keeping the score game by game is what makes it readable.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Who does Riko Gunji play for?

Saishunkan Pharmaceutical, a company team based in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The Nippon Badminton Association's national team page lists her team as Saishunkan Pharmaceutical. She was born on 31 July 2002, is 160cm, right-handed, from Kanagawa Prefecture, and went to Yatsushiro Shirayuri Gakuen High School. Her club's own player page gives the same date of birth, height and home town of Ebina in Kanagawa, and lists her with squad number 2. Akane Yamaguchi plays for the same club. This profile only uses information published officially.

What is Riko Gunji's world ranking?

World No. 21 in women's singles as of 13 October 2026, with 49,333 points from 20 counted events. On 15 September 2026 she was No. 20 with 49,333 points, so she has dropped 1 place. The official BWF ranking (Week 42) and the specialist outlet Badminton Spirit's list dated 13 October agree on the place, the points and the number of counted events. When the Nippon Badminton Association named its Asian Games squad on 19 May 2026, she was World No. 22. World rankings are updated every week, so please read this as a dated record rather than a current figure, and check the BWF website for the latest list.

Has Riko Gunji won a tournament in 2026?

Yes. She won the women's singles at the Canada Open (Super 300) in Markham in July 2026. She beat home favourite Michelle Li in the semi-finals and Line Christophersen of Denmark 21-15, 15-21, 21-6 in the final. It was her first title at Super 300 level or above, and Japan swept all five events that week. This result is taken from BWF's own report and from her club's official player page. Our Canada Open 2027 page lists it as last year's result, but it holds no match-by-match scores, so it is not counted among the result cards.

How far did Riko Gunji go at the 2026 World Championships?

To the first round. She was not in the original entry: the Nippon Badminton Association announced on 15 August 2026 that she had been promoted from the reserve list, taking the place of Clara Azurmendi of Spain, who withdrew after the draw. That put her against 8th seed Tomoka Miyazaki in the first round — an all-Japanese opener. She lost 21-15, 14-21, 10-21 in 61 minutes after taking the first game. Both players are former world junior champions: Gunji in 2019 and Miyazaki in 2022.

How far did Riko Gunji go at the 2026 Swiss Open?

To the quarter-finals. At the Swiss Open 2026 (BWF World Tour Super 300, Basel, 10 to 15 March) she beat Sung Shuo Yun (TPE) 21-13, 21-10 on 11 March and 8th seed Busanan Ongbamrungphan (THA) 21-17, 21-14 on 12 March, both in straight games. She lost the quarter-final 19-21, 18-21 on 13 March to her compatriot Nozomi Okuhara, by two points and then by three; Okuhara went on to the semi-finals. Our sources are our own Swiss Open 2027 page, the Nippon Badminton Association's day-by-day results for the 2026 event, and the draw on English Wikipedia; opponent, score and date agree across all three.

What are Riko Gunji's 2026 results so far?

In the events we cover with a tournament page: quarter-finals at the Swiss Open (Super 300, Basel) in March, quarter-finals at the Orleans Masters (Super 300, Orléans) the following week as the 7th seed, first round at the Daihatsu Japan Open (Super 750, Tokyo) in July, second round at the China Open (Super 1000, Changzhou) in July, first round at the 2026 BWF World Championships in New Delhi in August, and first round at the China Masters (Super 750, Shenzhen) in September. She lost 21-18, 20-22, 20-22 to Polina Buhrova (UKR) at the Japan Open; beat Sung Shuo-Yun (TPE) 21-13, 21-12 before losing 10-21, 6-21 to Akane Yamaguchi at the China Open; lost 21-15, 14-21, 10-21 to Tomoka Miyazaki at the World Championships; and lost 15-21, 21-11, 11-21 to Line Christophersen at the China Masters. At the Swiss Open she beat Sung Shuo Yun 21-13, 21-10 and 8th seed Busanan Ongbamrungphan 21-17, 21-14 before losing 19-21, 18-21 to Nozomi Okuhara; at the Orleans Masters she beat Yvonne Li (GER) 21-12, 21-16 and Yeo Jia Min (SGP) 21-18, 21-14 before losing 19-21, 21-12, 16-21 to Pitchamon Opatniputh (THA). In October she went out in the second round at all three European events: the Arctic Open, the Denmark Open and the French Open, where P. V. Sindhu (IND) beat her 12-21, 16-21 on 22 October. Separately, she won the Canada Open (Super 300) in July; we hold no match-by-match scores from it, so it sits outside the result cards. We do not publish results of matches that have not finished.

Is Riko Gunji a world junior champion?

Yes. She won the girls' singles at the 2019 BWF World Junior Championships in Kazan, Russia, becoming the third Japanese player to take that title. She was still at Yatsushiro Shirayuri Gakuen High School at the time, and in the same year she also won the girls' singles at the All Japan High School Championships. Tomoka Miyazaki, who beat her in the first round of the 2026 World Championships, won the same junior title in 2022.

How did Riko Gunji do at the 2026 Asian Games?

Japan's women, with Gunji in the squad, won team silver. They beat India 3-1 in the quarter-final and Korea 3-1 in the semi-final, then lost the final 0-3 to China on 24 September 2026. Gunji was entered for the team event only and did not play the individual event. She did not play in the semi-final or final matches we have recorded, and we have not recorded whether she played in the quarter-final against India. The venue was Ichinomiya Municipal Gymnasium in Aichi.

How far did Riko Gunji go at the 2026 Orleans Masters?

To the quarter-finals. Seeded 7th at the Orleans Masters 2026 (BWF World Tour Super 300, Orléans, France, 17 to 22 March), she beat Yvonne Li (GER) 21-12, 21-16 on 18 March and Yeo Jia Min (SGP) 21-18, 21-14 on 19 March, both in straight games. She lost the quarter-final 19-21, 21-12, 16-21 on 20 March to Pitchamon Opatniputh (THA), who came through unseeded to the final and lost it 21-15, 21-15 to Nozomi Okuhara. She had also reached the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open the week before, so both March events ended with two wins and one defeat. Our sources are our own Orleans Masters 2027 page (2026 results), the Nippon Badminton Association's day-by-day results for the 2026 event, and the English Wikipedia draw; opponent, score and date agree across all three.
