2026 Results, Match by Match

Japan Open 2026

Super 750・Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium

🔻He lost the first round on 15 July, 14-21, 21-16, 18-21 in 68 minutes, to Moh. Zaki UBAIDILLAH (INA). He took the second game back and lost the decider 18-21. The next day, 16 July, UBAIDILLAH lost the second round to the other Dane, Anders Antonsen (3rd seed). 🆕Added on 18 September 2026: this match was on none of our pages. When this page went live on 9 September 2026, the Japan Open was not among the events we had counted in the official BWF day data. The official BWF day data (15 July 2026, men's singles, round of 32) and the draw on English Wikipedia agree, so we have added it.

China Open 2026

Super 1000・Changzhou, China

🔥He beat the 2nd seed, Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand, in the first round. On 22 July it finished 21-13, 8-21, 21-19 in 71 minutes: he dropped the second game and took the decider 21-19. ⚠️That match was not on our tournament page at all — not written wrongly, simply missing. We confirmed it against the official BWF day data (22 July 2026, men's singles, round of 32) and the draw on English Wikipedia, and added it to the tournament page on 9 September 2026, the day this page went live. He lost the round of 16 the next day, 23 July, 10-21, 19-21 in 51 minutes to Toma Junior Popov (FRA), who went on to finish runner-up. 🆕Added on 18 September 2026: this page used to keep that match in a separate list of results without a score, while our page for Toma Junior Popov had counted the same match as one of his recorded results since 17 September 2026. The official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia agree, so the two pages now match (see All eight are here).

BWF World Championships 2026

World Championships・New Delhi, India

🥇Unseeded, he knocked out a seed on two consecutive days and reached the quarter-finals. On 19 August he beat the 12th seed Lin Chun-yi (TPE) 13-21, 21-17, 21-11 in 70 minutes; on 20 August he beat the 3rd seed, Jonatan Christie of Indonesia, 11-21, 21-13, 21-18 in 70 minutes. He lost the opening game in both, and both lasted exactly 70 minutes. The quarter-final on 21 August went 19-21, 18-21 in 54 minutes to the 7th seed Victor Lai (CAN). Our tournament page calls the Lin result the first upset of day three. He had won his first round on 18 August 21-11, 21-10 in 39 minutes against Julien CARRAGGI (BEL). 🆕Added on 18 September 2026: this page used to say we held no score for it; the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia agree, so we have added it.

China Masters 2026

Super 750・Shenzhen, China

🔻He lost the first round on 1 September, 17-21, 14-21 in 51 minutes, to 🇯🇵Kenta Nishimoto (JPN). Our tournament page writes it from Nishimoto's side as 21-17, 21-14. This is the only 2026 meeting with a Japanese player that we hold, and he lost it.

The eight matches we recorded score by score for Rasmus Gemke in 2026 are four wins and four losses, and split another way the record leans hard: the four that went to three games are three wins and one loss, and the four that ended in two are one win and three losses. Against seeded players he is also three wins and one loss, and against unseeded players one win and three losses.

• ✅All three wins over seeded players went to three games: the 2nd seed Kunlavut Vitidsarn (THA) 21-13, 8-21, 21-19 in 71 minutes on 22 July, the 12th seed Lin Chun-yi (TPE) 13-21, 21-17, 21-11 in 70 minutes on 19 August, and the 3rd seed Jonatan Christie (INA) 11-21, 21-13, 21-18 in 70 minutes on 20 August. They are the three longest of the eight matches we hold.
• 🔻Three of the four defeats ended in two games: 10-21, 19-21 in 51 minutes to Toma Junior Popov (FRA) on 23 July, 19-21, 18-21 in 54 minutes to the 7th seed Victor Lai (CAN) on 21 August, and 17-21, 14-21 in 51 minutes to 🇯🇵Kenta Nishimoto (JPN) on 1 September. The only three-game defeat is the Japan Open first round on 15 July, 14-21, 21-16, 18-21 in 68 minutes to Moh. Zaki UBAIDILLAH.
• ⏱The shortest one was a win: 21-11, 21-10 in 39 minutes against Julien CARRAGGI (BEL) in the World Championships first round on 18 August. It is his only straight-games win among the eight.
• 🎯Two of the three three-game wins came from a game down (19 and 20 August). In the third, on 22 July, he took the opener, lost the second game 8-21, and took the decider 21-19.
• 🇯🇵We hold one meeting with a Japanese player, and he lost it: the China Masters first round on 1 September, 17-21, 14-21 to Kenta Nishimoto.

Everything above comes from our own tournament pages and from the official BWF day data checked against the draw on English Wikipedia, and we do not explain why any of it happened. These eight are not his whole 2026: we hold nothing from January to June (see All eight are here).

🥇The 2026 BWF World Championships in New Delhi, August. Rasmus Gemke was unseeded. From there he beat the 12th seed on 19 August and the 3rd seed on 20 August, and reached the quarter-finals.

• 🏸19 August, second round: Lin Chun-yi (TPE, 12th seed), 13-21, 21-17, 21-11 in 70 minutes. Our World Championships 2026 page records it as the first upset of day three. Lin is the 2026 All England champion (Super 1000).
• 🏸20 August, third round: Jonatan Christie (INA, 3rd seed), 11-21, 21-13, 21-18 in 70 minutes. ⚡The man seeded 3rd that day is world No. 1 in men's singles on the official BWF ranking dated 8 September 2026, with 87,631 points. The place matches the table on English Wikipedia for the same date.
• ⏱In both he lost the opening game, took the next two, and finished in exactly 70 minutes. Those are the only two of our eight that ran to 70 minutes.
• 🔻21 August, quarter-final: Victor Lai (CAN, 7th seed), 19-21, 18-21 in 54 minutes. Two points and three points, and Lai went on to take bronze.
• 📌He had already beaten a 2nd seed in July: Kunlavut Vitidsarn (THA) 21-13, 8-21, 21-19 in 71 minutes in the first round of the China Open (Super 1000) on 22 July. Vitidsarn is world No. 3 on the same 8 September 2026 ranking, with 86,915 points.

Every seeding above was checked against both the draw on English Wikipedia and the official BWF day data. We do not rank players against each other and we do not hold career head-to-heads.

🔢For the Japan Open, the China Open, the World Championships and the China Masters, we pulled the official BWF day data date by date and counted his results. BWF has eight. Since 18 September 2026 this page holds the score of all eight.

• 🆕We added three on 18 September: the Japan Open first round on 15 July (lost 14-21, 21-16, 18-21 in 68 minutes to Moh. Zaki UBAIDILLAH), the China Open round of 16 on 23 July (lost 10-21, 19-21 in 51 minutes to Toma Junior Popov), and the World Championships first round on 18 August (beat Julien CARRAGGI 21-11, 21-10 in 39 minutes). For all three, the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia agree on the points and on who won.
• 🔴When this page went live on 9 September, it said BWF had him at seven across three events, that we held five, and that the gap was two. The Japan Open was not among the events we had counted, so his first round there never showed up. A sentence that says "we counted everything" still reads as complete when the range it counted is short.
• 🔁The China Open round of 16 disagreed with another page on this site. Our page for Toma Junior Popov had counted it as one of his recorded results since 17 September 2026, while this page put it on the side without a score. On 18 September we brought this page into line.
• 📄The three are missing from our tournament pages because of how those pages are written. They carry each day's Japanese entries and the matches where a seed moved; all three were between unseeded players, with no Japanese player involved. ⇒ We have added them here, not to the tournament pages.
• 🔴His first round on 22 July was different: that one was simply missing. Our China Open 2026 page carries two other seeds falling in the same round — the 3rd seed Anders Antonsen and the 7th seed Li Shifeng — but had not one line about the 2nd seed, Kunlavut Vitidsarn, going out. ⇒ We added it to the tournament page on 9 September 2026.

All eight were checked point by point against both the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia: the scores and the direction of every result agree. Some lines on our tournament pages are written from the Japanese player's or the winner's side, so the same match can appear with the numbers reversed.

• 2026 — BWF World Championships — unseeded quarter-finalist
  New Delhi, August. He beat the 12th seed Lin Chun-yi (TPE) 13-21, 21-17, 21-11 in the second round and the 3rd seed Jonatan Christie (INA) 11-21, 21-13, 21-18 in the third — both from a game down, both in exactly 70 minutes. The quarter-final went 19-21, 18-21 in 54 minutes to the 7th seed Victor Lai (CAN).
• 2026 — China Open (Super 1000) — beat the 2nd seed
  Changzhou, July. He beat the 2nd seed Kunlavut Vitidsarn (THA) 21-13, 8-21, 21-19 in 71 minutes in the first round on 22 July. ⚠️That match was not on our tournament page at all, so we added it on 9 September 2026. He lost the round of 16 10-21, 19-21 in 51 minutes to Toma Junior Popov (FRA).
• 2026 — China Masters (Super 750) — out in round one
  Shenzhen, September. He lost the first round on 1 September 17-21, 14-21 in 51 minutes to 🇯🇵Kenta Nishimoto (JPN). This is the only 2026 meeting with a Japanese player that we hold.
• 2026 — Japan Open (Super 750) — out in round one
  Tokyo, July. He lost the first round on 15 July 14-21, 21-16, 18-21 in 68 minutes to Moh. Zaki UBAIDILLAH (INA). 🆕That match was on none of our pages, and we added it on 18 September 2026.
• 2026 — World No. 21, dated 8 September 2026
  The official BWF ranking page for men's singles (Week 37) gives 21st with 50,934 points, up one place on the previous week. ⚠️World rankings move every week, so this is a dated record. We do not publish a career high for him: English Wikipedia says 10th on 30 November 2021 and the Japanese site Badminton Navi says 11th in week 38 of 2022, and we do not print a figure two sources disagree on.

📅The most recent match we hold for him is the China Masters 2026 first round on 1 September.

In the European autumn swing, the Arctic Open (6 to 11 October, Vantaa, Finland) has finished and the Denmark Open (13 to 18 October, Odense) is under way. Next comes the French Open from 20 to 25 October.

⚠️ Our Arctic Open and Denmark Open pages are written around the Japanese entries, and we have no match of Rasmus Gemke on either (as of 15 October 2026); check the BWF draws for whether he played and how he did. The French Open 2026 draw came out on 15 October: he meets 🇯🇵Yudai Okimoto in the first round (withdrawals after the draw are still possible). No entry list has been published for the events after it, and we do not guess at who will play. Our full 2026 calendar is on the badminton schedule page.

"Four wins and four losses" is not his 2026. The eight we hold a score for run from 15 July to 1 September, and nothing from January to June is among them. Saying what is missing is more accurate than filling it in.

🔴A page about a player from another country has more holes than a page about a Japanese player. Our tournament pages are written around the Japanese entries and the movement of the seeds, so a match that is neither drops out. ⇒ Here we counted that gap in the official BWF day data and filled it (see All eight are here). Counting is also what turned up the 2nd-seed upset our China Open page had no line about. 🔴The first count, though, left the Japan Open out of its range.

🔍The same results can still be read from both sides. On Kenta Nishimoto's page 1 September is a win, and here it is a defeat; on Victor Lai's page 21 August is a win, and here it is a defeat; on Toma Junior Popov's page 23 July is a win. The points are the same; only the direction changes.
