🏸 2026 results
Every 2026 result we hold for Jia and Zhang, tournament by tournament. Tournament names link to our page for that event, which is written in Japanese. ⚠️Our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries, so for this pair we hold nothing before the quarter-finals at the three World Tour events (at the Asian Games 2026 we do hold their second round, against a Japanese pair). Where we hold nothing, we say so rather than filling the gap.
Daihatsu Japan Open
Super 750・Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium
🥈They reached the final and finished runners-up. Our record of this event starts at the semi-finals. Semi-final on 18 July: 21-15, 12-21, 23-21 over Yuki Fukushima / Mayu Matsumoto (JPN, 4th seeds) in 86 minutes, the decider taken 23-21. Final on 19 July: 21-14, 15-21, 29-30 to Kong Hee-yong / Kim Hye-jeong (KOR) in 99 minutes. 🔴They took the opening game 21-14 and lost the decider 29-30 — at 29-29 the other pair reached the 30-point cap first. ⚠️We hold nothing earlier than the semi-final here, because our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries.
BWF World Championships 2026
World Championships・New Delhi, India
They entered as the 4th seeds and went out in the quarter-finals on 21 August, losing 21-16, 15-21, 13-21 in 70 minutes to India's Treesa Jolly / Gayatri Gopichand Pullela. Our tournament page writes the same match from the other side as 16-21, 21-15, 21-13 and records it as the home pair's big win of the day. 🔴Here too they had taken the opening game, 21-16. ⚠️We hold nothing earlier than the quarter-final here.
China Masters 2026
Super 750・Shenzhen, China
They entered as the 4th seeds and lost the semi-final on 5 September, 14-21, 13-21 in 44 minutes to compatriots BAO Li Jing / CAO Zi Han, who were unseeded. Our tournament page calls it the upset of the day, an unseeded pair winning both games by double figures. ⚠️It is the only one of the five in which they lost the opening game, and their only straight-games defeat. BAO and CAO went on to the final and lost it 18-21, 18-21 to Japan's Sumire Nakade / Miyu Takahashi. ⚠️We hold nothing earlier than the semi-final here.
Asian Games 2026
Asian Games・Ichinomiya, Aichi, Japan
They entered as the 4th seeds and went out in the second round of the individual event on 26 September, 21-9, 18-21, 15-21 to Japan's Rin Iwanaga / Kie Nakanishi on Court 1. 🔴They took the opening game 21-9 and then lost two in a row. Iwanaga and Nakanishi went on to the semi-finals and bronze. 🥇China won the women's team gold, beating Japan 3-0 in the final on 24 September; our tournament page records that this pair were listed for the fourth match of that final against Iwanaga / Nakanishi, which was not played because China had already won three. ⚠️We hold no record of their first round. At the previous edition, Hangzhou 2022, Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan took the women's doubles gold — Jia played with a different partner then; Zhang was not in that pair.
Hong Kong Open 2026
Super 500・Kai Tak Arena, Hong Kong
Our Hong Kong Open 2026 page lists them as the defending women's doubles champions. They won the final of 14 September 2025 21-17, 21-15 in 43 minutes against Japan's Kie Nakanishi / Rin Iwanaga; our tournament page and the Badminton Spirit final report agree. ⚠️The 2026 entry list has not been published, so we do not say whether they will play.
Scores are written from Jia Yifan / Zhang Shuxian's point of view (Jia and Zhang's points first). Only matches completed by 15 October 2026 are listed. Matches in progress are not listed.
🏆 They take the opening game
The five matches we record for them in 2026 are one win and four defeats. But none of the defeats was a rout. 🔴They took the opening game in four of the five, and only one of those four became a win.
- 🥈The closest was the Japan Open final on 19 July — 21-14, 15-21, 29-30 in 99 minutes. At 29-29 the other pair reached the 30-point cap first. Under the 21-point system, 29-29 means the next rally settles it.
- 🇮🇳The World Championships quarter-final on 21 August had the same shape — fourth seeds, 21-16 ahead, then 15-21, 13-21, in 70 minutes. Our tournament page records it as the home pair's big win of the day.
- ⚡They lost the opening game only once, and that was their only straight-games defeat — 14-21, 13-21 in the China Masters semi-final on 5 September, in 44 minutes. It was also the shortest of the four we have a duration for (we hold no duration for the Asian Games second round).
- ✅Their one win came against a Japanese pair — the Japan Open semi-final on 18 July against Yuki Fukushima / Mayu Matsumoto (4th seeds), 21-15, 12-21, 23-21 in 86 minutes. The same match can be read from the other side.
All scores are primary records on our own tournament pages. The four World Tour matches also match, point for point, the reports carried by the specialist outlet Badminton Spirit — same opponents, same dates, same scores. The durations of 86, 99, 70 and 44 minutes come from those reports only. For the Asian Games match our tournament page checked the official results site against the English Wikipedia draw. ⚠️Because our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries, we hold nothing from this pair before the quarter-finals at the three World Tour events.
🏆 Career highlights
- 2024 — Olympic women's doubles gold in Paris (Jia)
The final of 3 August 2024 was an all-Chinese affair: Jia, partnering Chen Qingchen, beat Tan Ning / Liu Shengshu. The Badminton Spirit report of 4 August 2024 and the medal list on English Wikipedia agree. ⚠️That gold was not won with Zhang Shuxian. - 2020 Games — Olympic women's doubles silver in Tokyo (Jia)
The Games were postponed by a year and held in 2021. The Badminton Spirit report of 31 July 2021, which names the final as Polii / Rahayu against Chen Qingchen / Jia Yifan, and the medal list on English Wikipedia agree. The Paris gold came three years after this defeat. - 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023 — Four BWF World Championships titles in women's doubles (Jia)
All four came with Chen Qingchen. The career summary on Jia's Badminton Spirit profile, the Badminton Spirit report of 30 August 2022 recording a second successive title, and the medal list on English Wikipedia agree. ⚠Our own page for Fukushima and Matsumoto also records that Yuki Fukushima, then playing with Sayaka Hirota, lost the 2017 final to Chen and Jia. - 2018 and 2022 Games — Two Asian Games women's doubles golds (Jia)
Jakarta-Palembang in 2018, and the 2022 Hangzhou edition, which was postponed to 2023. Jia's Badminton Spirit career summary and the previous-edition medal table on our Asian Games 2026 page each agree with the medal list on English Wikipedia. The next edition runs from 20 to 29 September 2026 in Ichinomiya, Aichi. - 2025 — Hong Kong Open (Super 500) women's doubles title, as a pair
The only title of theirs for which we hold a match-by-match score. They beat Japan's Kie Nakanishi / Rin Iwanaga 21-17, 21-15 in 43 minutes in the final on 14 September 2025. Our Hong Kong Open 2026 page and the Badminton Spirit final report agree. - 16 June 2026 — World No. 2 as a pair, their highest position
From the highest-peak column of the BWF World Ranking table on English Wikipedia. Zhang also reached No. 2 on 23 May 2023 with Zheng Yu. Jia's own highest is No. 1, from her years with Chen Qingchen, which her Badminton Spirit profile also gives. ⚠️The date of that No. 1 is given two different ways on English Wikipedia — 26 October 2017 and 2 November 2017 — so we do not print a date for it. Rankings move every week, so we always publish the date with the number. - 2023 — BWF World Championships women's doubles bronze (Zhang)
Copenhagen, with Zheng Yu. ⚠️This rests on English Wikipedia alone, because the Japanese specialist outlet we use has no profile for Zhang, so we attribute it rather than assert it. Our Asian Games 2026 page does independently record that a Zheng Yu / Zhang Shuxian pair existed in 2023, losing 22-24, 21-17, 21-23 to Yuki Fukushima / Sayaka Hirota in the semi-final of 5 October.
📅 What's next
The Asian Games 2026 (20 to 29 September, Ichinomiya, Aichi) ended for them in the second round of the individual event on Saturday 26 September, 21-9, 18-21, 15-21 to Japan's Rin Iwanaga / Kie Nakanishi, as the 4th seeds. China won the women's team gold and this pair were listed for the fourth match of that final, which was not played. Before that, their week at the China Masters 2026 ended in the semi-finals on 5 September. For the Arctic Open 2026 (6 to 11 October) and the Denmark Open 2026, which began on 13 October, our tournament pages hold no match of this pair (as of 15 October).
We list them as defending champions at one coming event: the Hong Kong Open 2026 from 17 to 22 November, at Kai Tak Arena (Super 500).
🆕That same Hong Kong Open becomes a Super 750 in 2027 — the Hong Kong Open 2027, 18 to 23 May 2027 in Hong Kong (venue not yet announced). It is a promotion from Super 500 and the first in the history of the event, which began in 1982, and it runs from 2027 to 2030. Prize money rises from $500,000 to $1,100,000. 🔴A Super 750 requires the top 15 singles players and the top 10 doubles pairs in the world rankings to enter. This pair were world No. 4 in women's doubles as of 13 October 2026, so on current form they are inside that top 10 — but the rankings move every week, so we cannot say where they will stand in May 2027. ⏱Only 177 days separate the end of the 2026 edition (22 November) from the start of the 2027 one (18 May): the title they won in 2025 comes round again within half a year, at a higher level.
⚠️ No entry list has been published for either the 2026 or the 2027 edition. We do not print guessed entries. We update this page and the tournament pages as entries are confirmed.

JIA Yi Fan
| Name | JIA Yi Fan (賈一凡) |
|---|---|
| Country | China |
| Born | 29 June 1997 |
| Plays | Left-handed |
⚠️We do not publish a height for JIA Yi Fan. Badminton Spirit gives 175cm and English Wikipedia gives 1.70m, and we do not guess between two sources that disagree.
ZHANG Shu Xian
| Name | ZHANG Shu Xian (張殊賢) |
|---|---|
| Country | China |
⚠️We do not publish a date of birth, height or playing hand for ZHANG Shu Xian. The Japanese specialist outlet we use has no player profile for her, so we would have only one source, and we do not guess. She is a full-time professional who is world No. 4 in women's doubles on the list of 8 September 2026.
Source — JIA Yi Fan's Badminton Spirit player profile (Japanese specialist media) / ZHANG Shu Xian's Badminton Spirit world ranking list, women's doubles (dated 8 September 2026) (in Japanese). This profile only uses what the sources above publish. We do not write about injuries, health or private life.
🔍 Keep your own scoresheet
A results list saying "one win, four defeats" hides what actually happened. Three of the four defeats began 21-14, 21-16 and 21-9 in their favour; only one, 14-21, 13-21, was against them from the start. Where the match turned is not something the win column keeps. Writing down each game's margin, and the rallies past 20, is what lets you read it back the next time the same pair comes round.
Badsheet records your own matches point by point, builds an official-style scoresheet and charts win rate and shot placement.

❓ Frequently asked questions
What is JIA Yi Fan and ZHANG Shu Xian's world ranking?
World No. 4 in women's doubles as of 13 October 2026, with 82,760 points from 15 counted events. On 15 September 2026 they were also No. 4 with the same points, from 14 counted events. 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. World rankings are updated every week, so we publish ours with the date attached.
What are their 2026 results?
Our tournament pages hold four events, and the five matches we record are one win and four defeats: runners-up at the Daihatsu Japan Open (Super 750) in July, quarter-finalists as fourth seeds at the 2026 BWF World Championships in August, and semi-finalists at the China Masters (Super 750) in September. Events from January to June, and every round before the quarter-finals, are not listed because we hold no primary record of them.
What was the score in the Japan Open 2026 final?
On 19 July 2026 Jia and Zhang lost the women's doubles final to Kong Hee-yong / Kim Hye-jeong (KOR) 21-14, 15-21, 29-30, in 99 minutes. They took the opening game 21-14, and at 29-29 in the decider the Korean pair reached the 30-point cap first. Our Japan Open 2026 page, which writes the match from the winners' side as 14-21, 21-15, 30-29, and the Badminton Spirit final report agree.
Have they played against Japanese pairs?
We record two such matches in 2026. In the Japan Open semi-final on 18 July they beat Yuki Fukushima / Mayu Matsumoto (4th seeds) 21-15, 12-21, 23-21 in 86 minutes. In the second round of the Asian Games 2026 individual event on 26 September they lost to Rin Iwanaga / Kie Nakanishi 21-9, 18-21, 15-21. That counts only what we recorded in 2026, not a career head-to-head. In the Hong Kong Open final of 14 September 2025 they also beat Kie Nakanishi / Rin Iwanaga 21-17, 21-15.
Is Jia Yifan an Olympic medallist?
Yes. She won women's doubles gold at Paris 2024 and silver at the Tokyo Games of 2020, which were held in 2021. Both came with Chen Qingchen, not with Zhang Shuxian. The Badminton Spirit reports of 4 August 2024 and 31 July 2021 agree with the medal list on English Wikipedia. Jia has also won the BWF World Championships four times, in 2017, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
How old are they, and how tall?
Jia Yifan was born on 29 June 1997 and is left-handed; her Badminton Spirit profile and the English Wikipedia article agree on both. Her height is the exception: Badminton Spirit gives 175cm and English Wikipedia gives 1.70m, so we publish neither. For Zhang Shuxian there is no profile in the Japanese specialist outlet we use, so a date of birth, a height and a playing hand would rest on a single source. We do not publish them, and we do not guess.
Which spelling of their names is correct?
This page uses the BWF romanisation first: JIA Yi Fan (賈一凡) and ZHANG Shu Xian (張殊賢). Our Japanese tournament pages use the Chinese characters throughout.
Why is this one page for two players?
Because a doubles match is a single record for the pair. What our tournament pages hold are results for the pair, so this page, which is those results rearranged by player, is one page for the two of them. Only the profile is split per player.
The Hong Kong Open becomes a Super 750 in 2027 — does that affect this pair?
Yes. They are the 2025 Hong Kong Open women's doubles champions, and that event is promoted from Super 500 to Super 750 from 2027. The 2027 edition runs from 18 to 23 May and prize money rises from $500,000 to $1,100,000. A Super 750 requires the top 15 singles players and the top 10 doubles pairs in the world rankings to enter, and this pair were world No. 4 in women's doubles as of 13 October 2026, so on current form they are inside that top 10. The rankings move every week, so we cannot say where they will stand in May 2027. Only 177 days separate the end of the 2026 edition on 22 November from the start of the 2027 one on 18 May, so the same title comes round again within half a year.
