🏸 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). Our tournament pages start with the Japan Open in July, so the six events below are the ones we cover; events from January to June are not listed because we have no page for them.
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.
Asian Games 2026
Asian Games・Ichinomiya, Aichi, Japan
Named in the 10-strong Japan squad announced on 19 May 2026.

Miyazaki won the 78th edition in 2024 and was runner-up at the 79th in 2025, losing the final to Akane Yamaguchi. The 80th edition is played to 15 points, best of three — Japan adopted the new scoring ahead of the international calendar, which switches in January 2027. Entries are not known until the organisers publish them.
Scores are written from Tomoka Miyazaki's point of view (Miyazaki's points first). Only matches completed by 6 September 2026 are listed. Matches in progress are not listed.
🔥 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.

🔍 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.
