China Masters 2026

Super 750・Shenzhen, China

🥇He came in unseeded and won all five matches for the title. On 1 September he beat 🇯🇵Koki Watanabe 21-12, 21-17 in 44 minutes; on 3 September top seed Jonatan Christie (INA) 21-16, 21-16 in 45 minutes; on 4 September Weng Hongyang (CHN) 21-18, 21-13 in 50 minutes; on 5 September fifth seed Anders Antonsen (DEN) 15-21, 22-20, 21-16 in 98 minutes; and on 6 September, in the final, his Hong Kong team-mate Lee Cheuk Yiu 21-9, 21-16 in 43 minutes. The only game he dropped all week was the first game of the semi-final. Our tournament page writes the first round from Watanabe's side as 12-21, 17-21 and the second round from Christie's side as 16-21, 16-21 (see Five matches, one title).

🥇At the China Masters (Super 750, Shenzhen) in September 2026, Jason Gunawan came through unseeded and won all five matches. These five are the matches we count for him score by score (two October matches are listed separately under What's next).

• ⭕1 September, first round: 🇯🇵Koki Watanabe, 21-12, 21-17 in 44 minutes. Our tournament page writes it from Watanabe's side as 12-21, 17-21.
• ⭕3 September, second round: top seed Jonatan Christie (INA), 21-16, 21-16 in 45 minutes — the top seed did not take a game.
• ⭕4 September, quarter-final: Weng Hongyang (CHN), 21-18, 21-13 in 50 minutes. ⚠️This is the one score our tournament page does not hold; it lives on our Weng Hongyang player page.
• ⭕5 September, semi-final: fifth seed Anders Antonsen (DEN), 15-21, 22-20, 21-16 in 98 minutes — the only three-game match of the five, with the second game won 22-20 from 20-20.
• 🥇6 September, final: his Hong Kong team-mate Lee Cheuk Yiu, 21-9, 21-16 in 43 minutes. Our tournament page records it as the first all-Hong Kong men's singles final on the World Tour.
• 📊Eleven games across the five matches, and the only one he lost was the first of the semi-final; the points read 226-174 (official BWF player data).
• ⏱44, 45, 50, 98 and 43 minutes. Only the semi-final passed the hour, and the final was the shortest at 43 minutes.

All five were checked point by point against both the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia. We do not hold career head-to-heads; these are the five matches of 2026 and nothing else.

🔢Building this page, we counted his 2026 season in the official BWF player data: 14 events, 18 wins and 12 defeats. At that point we had a page for one of those events, the China Masters in September, and five of the 18 wins came in that single week.

• 🥇One title: the China Masters (Super 750) in September.
• 🥉One semi-final: the Australian Open in June, three wins and one defeat. Before the China Masters, that was his best of the year.
• 🏸Three quarter-finals: the Swiss Open in March, the Taipei Open in late July and the Korea Masters in August.
• 🏸Two second-round exits: the Indonesia Masters in January and the German Open in February.
• 🔺Six first-round exits: the Thailand Masters in January, the Orleans Masters in March, the Badminton Asia Championships in April, the Thailand Open and the Malaysia Masters in May, and the Macau Open in June.
• 👥One team event: the Badminton Asia Team Championships in February, where he played two singles rubbers and won both.
• 📄What is missing here is not an error of ours; it is the shape of this site. We do not write results for events we have no page for. Saying what is missing is more accurate than filling it in.

The figures in this section come from the official BWF player data, not from our own records. For those 14 events, the only scores we hold match by match are the five China Masters matches above (the two October matches are under What's next).

🥇He has two World Tour titles, and the first was the Syed Modi International (Super 300, Lucknow) in November 2025. The BWF news report of 1 December 2025 says it was his first World Tour title and came in his first final. He beat home favourite Srikanth Kidambi (IND, 5th seed) 21-16, 8-21, 22-20, taking the decider 22-20 from 20-20.

• 🇭🇰The same BWF report notes it was Hong Kong China's first men's singles World Tour title in over a year, after Ng Ka Long Angus at the Macau Open.
• 📅Our Syed Modi International 2026 page lists him as the defending champion. The 2026 edition runs from 24 to 29 November.
• ⚠️Being the defending champion does not mean he will be there. At the Vietnam Open in September 2026 he was named as the 2nd seed but never appeared in the main draw BWF published after play began, as recorded on our Vietnam Open 2026 page. No reason was published by the organisers.
• 🔢The two titles are graded Super 300 and Super 750, with different prize money and different fields. We call both of them a title and always give the grading.

We have no page for the 2025 Syed Modi International, so the scores here are not our own primary record: they are what the BWF news report and English Wikipedia both state.

• 2026 — World No. 22 in men's singles (13 October 2026)
  The official BWF ranking for Week 42 has him 22nd with 49,560 points from 19 counted events. On 15 September 2026 he was 24th on the same total, and in the week to 8 September he had climbed eight places. ⚠️Rankings move every week, so this is a dated record. The table on English Wikipedia stops at 20th, so this figure has a single source.
• 2026 — China Masters (Super 750) champion
  September, Shenzhen. Our China Masters 2026 page records the final and it matches the draw on English Wikipedia (final 21–9, 21–16). He won all five matches from unseeded, beating his Hong Kong team-mate Lee Cheuk Yiu in the final.
• 2025 — Syed Modi International (Super 300) champion
  November, Lucknow. A BWF news report and English Wikipedia agree: he beat Srikanth Kidambi (IND, 5th seed) 21-16, 8-21, 22-20 in the final. The BWF report calls it his first World Tour title, won in his first final, and Hong Kong China's first men's singles World Tour title in over a year. Our Syed Modi International 2026 page lists him as the defending champion.

📅The most recent match we record for Jason Gunawan is his Denmark Open 2026 first round on 14 October (just below). The five matches counted on this page are from the China Masters 2026, which ended on 6 September. At the Vietnam Open 2026 that followed, he was named as the 2nd seed but did not appear in the main draw.

🏸At the Arctic Open 2026 (Super 500, Vantaa, Finland, 6 to 11 October) he lost the first round on 7 October to the second seed, Christo Popov (FRA), 12-21, 21-18, 8-21. At the Denmark Open 2026 (Super 750, Odense, 13 to 18 October) he beat 🇯🇵Kenta Nishimoto 21-16, 21-16 in the first round on 14 October. Our tournament pages write these two from Popov's side as the winner and from Nishimoto's side as the Japanese player, as 21-12, 18-21, 21-8 and 16-21, 16-21. We have not recorded his Denmark Open second round. ⚠️These two matches are not in the five-match count above (scores from Jason Gunawan's side).

Our Asian Games 2026 page (20 to 29 September, Ichinomiya, Japan) does not list him. Ahead is the Syed Modi International 2026 from 24 to 29 November in Lucknow, where he is the defending champion.

⚠️ We have not confirmed his entry for the Syed Modi International, and we do not write entry lists from guesswork. The season is laid out on our 2026 badminton calendar (in Japanese).

"Five matches, five wins" is not his 2026. The official BWF player data lists 14 events with 18 wins and 12 defeats for him in 2026. When we built this page on 16 September we had a page for one of them, and the count here is five matches between 1 and 6 September (two October matches are outside it). Saying what is missing is more accurate than filling it in.

🔴All five September matches are wins because the week we recorded happens to be the week he won the title, not because we measured his form. The same season contains six first-round exits, and we hold a score for none of them (see A 14-event season). On 7 October he lost the Arctic Open first round to Christo Popov, an opening-round exit we do hold a score for (outside the count).

🔍A ranking is a dated record too. The 22nd place on this page is the list dated 13 October 2026 and it moves the following week. We do not assert a current place; the BWF website has the latest list.
