Han Yue Badminton
2026 Results, Match by Match

Daihatsu Japan Open

Super 750・Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium

She entered as the 5th seed. We hold only her first round, on 14 July: she beat 🇯🇵Tomoka Miyazaki 21-10, 21-12 in 37 minutes. ⚠️We do not hold the second round of 16 July, so the BWF day data and the draw table on English Wikipedia fill it in: she lost 16-21, 14-21 in 35 minutes to P. V. Sindhu (IND) and her week ended there.

China Open

Super 1000・Changzhou, China

She played at home as the 5th seed and reached the last eight. We hold only her quarter-final, on 24 July: 16-21, 21-14, 17-21 in 48 minutes to 🇯🇵Akane Yamaguchi, the 3rd seed. Our tournament page writes that match from Yamaguchi's side as 21-16, 14-21, 21-17, a three-game win that carried Yamaguchi into the last four. ⚠️The two wins that came before it are not on our site: she beat Neslihan Arin (TUR) 18-21, 21-7, 21-13 in 51 minutes on 22 July and Lin Hsiang-ti (TPE) 21-7, 21-13 in 33 minutes on 23 July.

BWF World Championships 2026

World Championships・New Delhi, India

She entered as the 5th seed and reached the last eight. We hold only her quarter-final, on 21 August: 19-21, 12-21 in 40 minutes to An Se-young (KOR, 1st seed). Our tournament page writes it from An's side as 21-19, 21-12. ⚠️For her first round we only say that she won; we have no score for it. The three wins that came before the quarter-final were 20-22, 21-13, 21-13 in 52 minutes against Kirsty Gilmour (SCO) on 17 August, 21-14, 21-8 in 33 minutes against Yvonne Li (GER) on 19 August, and 21-19, 20-22, 21-14 in 59 minutes against Kim Ga-eun (KOR, 12th seed) on 20 August. ⚡Two of those three wins went the distance, and both lasted more than 50 minutes.

⚡The three matches we recorded for Han Yue in 2026 are one win and two defeats. Count the same three events in the official BWF day data and there are nine matches, six wins and three losses. Read only our own records and she looks like a one-in-three player; she was in fact two in three.

🔴Five of the six we do not hold were wins. The three opponents we did keep are 🇯🇵Tomoka Miyazaki, 🇯🇵Akane Yamaguchi and An Se-young, then the world No. 1. Two Japanese players and the player at the top. Every match without a Japanese player in it dropped out.

• ✅The three we hold: the Japan Open first round on 14 July (won 21-10, 21-12), the China Open quarter-final on 24 July (lost 16-21, 21-14, 17-21) and the World Championships quarter-final on 21 August (lost 19-21, 12-21).
• ⬜The six we do not hold: 16 July (lost 16-21, 14-21), 22 July (won 18-21, 21-7, 21-13), 23 July (won 21-7, 21-13), 17 August (won 20-22, 21-13, 21-13), 19 August (won 21-14, 21-8) and 20 August (won 21-19, 20-22, 21-14).
• ⏱️The clock says the same thing. The nine add up to 388 minutes in the BWF data, of which the three on our own pages account for 125. Neither the longest match of her three events, at 59 minutes, nor the second longest, at 52, is on this site.
• 🔁This is not an error of ours; it is what our way of writing produces. Our tournament pages pick the notable matches of the day and the Japanese entries, so a first or second round without a Japanese player in it never gets written down.

We do not explain why any of it happened. Every figure above is either a score from our own tournament pages or one where the official BWF day data and the English Wikipedia draw table agree point for point.

🔎Checking her career against two sources turned up exactly one disagreement: the 2024 BWF World Tour Finals.

• Her player profile on the Japanese specialist site Badminton Spirit opens its 2024 line with "World Tour Finals, winner".
• Our own page for Wang Zhiyi cites the same site and says Wang won the 2024 World Tour Finals.
• The English Wikipedia article on the 2024 BWF World Tour Finals lists the women's singles seeds as 1 Wang Zhiyi (champion), 2 Han Yue (final).
• The World Tour table in the English Wikipedia article on Han Yue records the 2024 Finals as a runner-up finish, losing the final to Wang Zhiyi 21-19, 19-21, 11-21.

🔴Two players cannot both have won the same event. We already say on Wang Zhiyi's page that she won the 2024 Finals, so writing "winner" here would leave this site contradicting itself. We therefore publish it as a runner-up finish and write down the disagreement itself.

This kind of error breaks nothing on the page, so you cannot see it by looking. We find these by re-reading the whole site under the player's name before we publish a player page. That is how we noticed that another of our own pages already named a different champion of the same event. If you find another, please tell us through the corrections link at the foot of this page.

• 2024 — Hong Kong Open (Super 500) champion
  She beat Putri Kusuma Wardani (INA) 21-18, 21-7 in the final. Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the BWF World Tour table on English Wikipedia agree. She lost the same final a year later to Wang Zhiyi 14-21, 22-24, and Wang is the holder we list on our own Hong Kong Open 2026 page.
• 2023 and 2024 — Arctic Open (Super 500), back-to-back titles
  The 2023 final went 16-21, 22-20, 21-12 against Wang Zhiyi and the 2024 final 21-10, 21-13 against Ratchanok Intanon (THA). Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the BWF World Tour table on English Wikipedia agree. ⚠️The 2025 title went to Akane Yamaguchi of Japan, who is the holder listed on our own Arctic Open 2026 page.
• 2021 — World University Games, women's singles gold
  Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the medal table on English Wikipedia (2021 Chengdu, women's singles gold) agree. She also took silver in the mixed team event at the same Games.
• 2025 — Badminton Asia Championships silver, bronze in 2024
  The 2025 final went 21-11, 14-21, 9-21 to Chen Yufei (CHN), and the 2024 semi-final 15-21, 16-21 to the same opponent. Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the Asian Championships table on English Wikipedia agree.
• 2018 — Syed Modi International (Super 300) champion
  She beat Saina Nehwal (IND) 21-18, 21-8 in the final. Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the BWF World Tour table on English Wikipedia agree. We keep a summary page for the Syed Modi International 2026, from 24 to 29 November in India.
• 2022 — Hylo Open (Super 300) champion
  She beat her compatriot ZHANG Yiman 21-18, 21-16 in the final. Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the BWF World Tour table on English Wikipedia agree. ⚠️We keep the BWF romanisation of the opponent's name because we have not confirmed a Japanese rendering of it in two sources.
• 2024 — BWF World Tour Finals runner-up
  🔎This is the one point where our sources disagree. Her Badminton Spirit profile calls the 2024 World Tour Finals a win; the English Wikipedia article on that event lists Wang Zhiyi as champion and Han Yue as the beaten finalist, with the final at 21-19, 19-21, 11-21. We do not publish it as a title. See where our sources disagree.
• 2017 — Asian Junior gold, World Junior silver
  Her Badminton Spirit career summary and the medal table on English Wikipedia (2017 Jakarta girls' singles gold, 2017 Yogyakarta girls' singles silver) agree. We do not publish pages about players who are minors, but we do list the events and results an adult player's sources publish as career history.

🏸At the Asian Games 2026 in Ichinomiya, Aichi (20 to 29 September) she was down to play the fifth match of the women's team final against Nozomi Okuhara on 24 September (China 3-0 Japan), but China had already won the first three matches, so it was not played, and China took the team gold. We have not recorded any match she played at these Games, team or individual.

📅The most recent event for which we hold her scores is the BWF World Championships 2026, which ended on 23 August with her quarter-final. The China Masters of 1 to 6 September is not in the 2026 tournament list the BWF publishes for her, so it does not appear on this page.

The autumn runs through the Arctic Open 2026 from 6 to 11 October in Vantaa, Finland (finished), the Denmark Open 2026 from 13 to 18 October in Odense (under way) and the French Open 2026 from 20 to 25 October near Paris. She is a past champion of the Hong Kong Open in November and of the Syed Modi International later that month.

⚠️ Our Arctic Open 2026 and Denmark Open 2026 pages follow the Japanese entries and do not show her entry or any result of hers at the 2026 editions (for the Denmark Open, as of 15 October; the event runs until the 18th). The French Open 2026 draw came out on 15 October, but our tournament page lists only the Japanese entries' first-round matches, so we have not recorded her place in the draw. No entry list has been published for the Hong Kong Open 2026 or the Syed Modi International 2026. We do not guess at names. Linked pages are in Japanese unless marked EN.

The words "last eight" tell you nothing about the week. Of the three wins that took her to the quarter-final at the 2026 World Championships, two went to three games, at 52 and 59 minutes, while the second round took 33 minutes. Whether that has anything to do with the 19-21, 12-21 quarter-final is not something we can tell you. All we publish is the score and the clock.

🔴Our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries. That means a page about a player from another country has more gaps than one about a Japanese player. Here we hold three matches of our own, against nine in the official BWF day data. Where we hold nothing, we say so.

🇯🇵Read alongside a Japanese player's page and the same match appears from the other side. On Tomoka Miyazaki's page the Japan Open first round is the line that ends her week; the same 21-10, 21-12 is the line that carries Han into the second round here. On Akane Yamaguchi's page the China Open quarter-final reads "into the last four", and her week ran on to the title.
