🏸 2026 results
Every 2026 result we record for Tomoka Miyazaki, tournament by tournament. Tournament names link to our summary page for that event (draw, the other Japanese entries, and how to follow the broadcast). ⚠️Of our own tournament pages, only two cover events from the first half of 2026 — the Japan Ranking Circuit in May and the All Japan Corporate Team Championships in June — and Miyazaki appears on neither. 🆕The exception is the German Open in February: our German Open 2027 page carries her 2026 semi-final as a past result, so it became a result card on 19 September 2026 (until then this page said we had no page at all for January to April). 🆕The Swiss Open in March is the same: our Swiss Open 2027 page carries her three matches from the 2026 edition, where she was the 3rd seed and a quarter-finalist, so they became result cards on 20 September 2026 (until then this page still said we had not turned them into cards). The list below holds eight events. We hold no primary record of her other events from the first half of the year.
German Open
Super 300・Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
Seeded 4th, she reached the last four. First round on 25 February: Karupathevan LETSHANAA (MAS) 21-9, 15-21, 21-11 in 60 minutes. Second round on 26 February: Kirsty GILMOUR (SCO) 21-19, 13-9, with her opponent retiring during the second game (38 minutes). Quarter-final on 27 February: Kaloyana NALBANTOVA (BUL) 18-21, 21-18, 21-15 in 73 minutes, from a game down. 🔴The semi-final on 28 February went to top seed Wang Zhiyi (CHN), 10-21, 18-21 in 42 minutes. In the China Masters semi-final in September she beat the same player 21-19, 23-21 (see two semi-finals against Wang). 🆕The semi-final score is carried as a 2026 result on our German Open 2027 page, published on 18 September 2026; the three earlier rounds come from two agreeing sources, BWF's official day-by-day match data and the English Wikipedia draw.
Swiss Open 2026
Super 300・Basel, Switzerland
Seeded 3rd, she won two of her three matches at the Swiss Open and reached the last eight. First round on 11 March: compatriot Hina Akechi 21-8, 21-16. Second round on 12 March: NGUYEN Thuy Linh (VIE) 20-22, 21-11, 21-16, after dropping the opening game 20-22. In the quarter-final on 13 March against LIN Hsiang Ti (TPE) she retired at 6-11 in the opening game. We do not write about why. 🆕Added on 20 September 2026: these three results were already on our own Swiss Open 2027 page as the 2026 results. ⚠️The Nippon Badminton Association's day page for 12 March labels that 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.
Daihatsu Japan Open
Super 750・Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium
Opened the week on 14 July and lost the first round to HAN Yue (CHN) 10-21, 12-21 — one match and out. The following week she reached the semi-finals of the China Open, so her summer turned around in the space of seven days.
China Open
Super 1000・Changzhou, China
Her best result at Super 1000 level in 2026. Beat Line KJAERSFELDT (DEN) 16-21, 21-7, 21-11 in the first round, went through when Beiwen ZHANG (USA) withdrew in the second, then beat Putri Kusuma WARDANI (INA) 16-21, 21-11, 21-9 in the quarter-finals. CHEN Yufei (CHN) won the semi-final 17-21, 15-21. Both wins came after losing the opening game 16-21. Japan finished the week with one gold, one silver and one bronze — the bronze being this run.
BWF World Championships 2026
World Championships・New Delhi, India
Seeded 8. The first round was an all-Japanese match against Riko GUNJI, won 15-21, 21-14, 21-10 in 61 minutes, followed by 21-14, 21-13 over Yevheniia KANTEMYR (UKR) in 35 minutes. In the round of 16, Michelle LI (CAN, 13th seed) came back to win 21-17, 16-21, 18-21. Miyazaki took the first game and lost the next two, one round short of the quarter-finals.
China Masters
Super 750・Shenzhen, China
The first big event after the World Championships, and five matches took her to the final. She beat Hina AKECHI (JPN) 19-21, 21-17, 21-19 in an all-Japanese first round, then Tanvi SHARMA (IND) 21-17, 18-21, 21-16 in the second round — two straight three-game wins — and then Kaloyana NALBANTOVA (BUL) 21-12, 21-11 in the quarter-final, her first straight-games win of the week. Nalbantova had knocked out 6th seed Ratchanok Intanon (THA) in the previous round. In the semi-final on 5 September she beat 2nd seed WANG Zhi Yi (CHN) 21-19, 23-21 in 60 minutes to reach the final, taking the second game 23-21 from deuce. 🔴In the final on 6 September she lost to top seed An Se-young (KOR) 17-21, 6-21 in 45 minutes and finished as runner-up. The opening game was close at 17-21; the second went to six points. It is still the furthest she has gone in any event we record in 2026. ⚠️The final score comes from two agreeing sources: the BWF match data for the day and the draw on English Wikipedia.

🔥 China Open 2026 run
The China Open (Super 1000, Changzhou) in July took her to the semi-finals — and the two matches she won started in exactly the same way: a 16-21 opening game.
- 22 July, first round — Line KJAERSFELDT (DEN) 16-21, 21-7, 21-11. Holding the Dane to seven points in the second game turned the match.
- 23 July, second round — Beiwen ZHANG (USA) withdrew, so Miyazaki went through to the quarter-finals.
- 24 July, quarter-final — Putri Kusuma WARDANI (INA) 16-21, 21-11, 21-9, the same shape of match as the first round.
- 25 July, semi-final — CHEN Yufei (CHN) 17-21, 15-21. Chen went on to lose the final to Akane Yamaguchi.
Every score above comes from our own 2026 China Open page, where Fukushima and Matsumoto were the women's doubles runners-up.
🔁 Two semis against Wang
In 2026 Miyazaki met Wang Zhiyi (CHN) twice, both times in a semi-final. She lost in February and won in September. Scores are written from Miyazaki's point of view.

- ✅5 September|China Masters semi-final: 2nd seed Wang Zhiyi 21-19, 23-21 in 60 minutes, both games by two points, to reach the final.
We do not explain why the result turned round; all we publish is the score and the clock. Both matches are on our own tournament pages. The same two matches, seen from the other side, are on Wang Zhiyi's page.
📋 Twenty matches in 2026
🆕On 20 September 2026 we added her three matches from the Swiss Open (Super 300, Basel) in March. That makes the twenty matches we hold with a score for 2026 read fourteen wins and six defeats. The figure below lists them tournament by tournament.
- 🇯🇵She met Hina Akechi twice in 2026 and won both — the Swiss Open first round in March 21-8, 21-16 in straight games, and the China Masters first round in September 19-21, 21-17, 21-19 over three. The same two meetings, seen from the other side, are on Hina Akechi's page.
- ❌The six defeats came in the German Open semi-final, the Swiss Open quarter-final, the Japan Open first round, the China Open semi-final, the World Championships third round and the China Masters final. Only the Japan Open was a first-round exit.
- ⚠️Three of the twenty were not played out: her opponent retired in the German Open second round and withdrew in the China Open second round, and Miyazaki herself retired at 6-11 in the opening game of the Swiss Open quarter-final. We do not write about why.

🔍 Keep your own scoresheet
In 2026 the first game told you very little about how Miyazaki's matches would end. She lost the opener 16-21 twice at the China Open and won both matches; at the World Championships she took the opener 21-17 and lost. A win-loss table cannot show that. Keeping the score game by game is what makes it readable.
Badsheet records your own matches point by point, builds an official-style scoresheet and charts win rate and shot placement.
