🏸 2026 results

Every 2026 result we record for Wang Zhiyi, tournament by tournament. Tournament names link to our summary page for that event. ⚠️Our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries, so for players from other countries we list only the matches we actually hold. Where we hold nothing, we say so, and we do not publish results we have not confirmed. 🆕The All England Open in March 2026 is not one of the cards below, because we hold no page for that tournament — but her five scores on the way to the title are recorded further down this page.

2/24〜3/1 🥈 Runner-up

German Open 2026

Super 300・Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany

She was the top seed and finished runner-up. First round on 25 February: Tasnim MIR (IND) 21-9, 21-14 in 28 minutes. Second round on 26 February: Amalie SCHULZ (DEN) 21-9, 21-14 in 30 minutes — exactly the same score on consecutive days. Quarter-final on 27 February: Line CHRISTOPHERSEN (DEN) 21-14, 21-19 in 40 minutes. Semi-final on 28 February: Tomoka Miyazaki (JPN, 4th seed) 21-10, 21-18 in 42 minutes. 🔴The final on 1 March went to unseeded Han Qianxi (CHN), 19-21, 20-22 in 51 minutes; our tournament page writes it from Han's side as 21-19, 22-20. 🆕The semi-final and final scores are carried as 2026 results 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.

7/21〜26 🥉 Semi-finalist

China Open 2026

Super 1000・Changzhou, China

She reached the last four on home soil. Our own tournament page holds two of them. Quarter-final on 24 July: Kim Ga-eun (KOR) 21-18, 21-14 in 45 minutes. Semi-final on 25 July: she lost 10-21, 21-6, 16-21 to Akane Yamaguchi (JPN, 3rd seed). ⚠️We hold no record of her first- or second-round matches at this event — our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries — and we do not publish results we have not confirmed.

8/17〜23 🥉 Bronze medal

BWF World Championships 2026

World Championships・New Delhi, India

🥉Seeded 3rd, she won four times in a row before losing the semi-final, and took bronze. First round on 17 August: Beiwen Zhang (USA) 21-12, 21-13 in 36 minutes. Second round on 19 August: Karupathevan Letshanaa (MAS) 21-16, 21-9 in 42 minutes. Third round on 20 August: P. V. Sindhu (IND, 9th seed) 21-11, 15-21, 21-17 in 88 minutes. Quarter-final on 21 August: Line Christophersen (DEN, 15th seed) 21-10, 21-7 in 32 minutes. Semi-final on 22 August: she lost 22-24, 16-21 in 61 minutes to An Se-young (KOR, 1st seed). ⚠️The first two rounds are not on our own tournament page; those scores come from the BWF day data and the draw table on English Wikipedia. 🔴The third-round score corrects a figure we had published wrongly (see a score we had wrong).

9/1〜6 🥉 Semi-finalist

China Masters 2026

Super 750・Shenzhen, China

She entered as the 2nd seed and reached the last four. She won her first round on 1 September in straight games, but we recorded neither the score nor the opponent. Quarter-final on 4 September: Nozomi Okuhara (JPN) 21-6, 21-10. Semi-final on 5 September: she lost 19-21, 21-23 in 60 minutes to Tomoka Miyazaki (JPN). ⚠️We hold no record of her second-round match.

Scores are written from Wang Zhiyi's point of view (Wang's points first). Only matches completed by 7 September 2026 are listed. Matches in progress are not listed.

⚡ Unbeaten before the semis

The 14 matches we recorded for Wang Zhiyi in 2026 up to 5 September (the China Masters semi-final; her five All England matches and three later Asian Games matches are written separately and are not in this count) are ten wins and four losses — and she won all nine she played before a semi-final. The four losses are three semi-finals and one final.

🆕Until 19 September 2026 this page said her nine recorded results held three defeats, all of them semi-finals. Our German Open 2027 page carries the 2026 German Open, where she won her semi-final and lost the final, so that line no longer held. What survived is the other half: nobody beat her before a semi-final.

A chart of the 14 Wang Zhiyi matches from 2026 for which we hold a score (ten wins, four losses), split into the five semi-finals and final and the nine rounds before them. German Open semi-final on 28 February: Tomoka Miyazaki 21-10, 21-18, won. German Open final on 1 March: Han Qianxi 19-21, 20-22, lost, runner-up. China Open semi-final on 25 July: Akane Yamaguchi 10-21, 21-6, 16-21, lost. World Championships semi-final on 22 August: An Se-young 22-24, 16-21, lost, bronze medal. China Masters semi-final on 5 September: Tomoka Miyazaki 19-21, 21-23, lost. The nine rounds before a semi-final (three at the German Open, one at the China Open, four at the World Championships and one at the China Masters) were all won, and the only game she dropped in them was the second game of her World Championships third round.
Scores are written from Wang's point of view. The chart is labelled in Japanese.

We do not explain why any of it happened. Every score above is either on our own tournament pages or agreed by two sources, BWF's day-by-day match data and the English Wikipedia draw. Of the four players who beat her, all but Han Qianxi have a page on this site.

🔴 A score we had wrong

🔴We had published her third round at the 2026 World Championships (20 August) as a straight-games win. It was not: she lost the second game. The correct score is 21-11, 15-21, 21-17, and the match lasted 88 minutes.

Two sources agree. The BWF day data for 20 August lists the women's singles R16 between Wang (3rd seed) and P. V. Sindhu (9th seed) at 88 minutes with that scoreline, and the draw table in the English Wikipedia article "2026 BWF World Championships – Women's singles" gives the same three games. The article's prose also says she won in three.

⚠️The error appeared in exactly one place on this site — the fourth-day section of our World Championships 2026 page — and we fixed it when this page went live, leaving the date of the correction on that page.

A wrong score breaks nothing on the page, so you cannot see it by looking. We find these by re-reading the whole site under the player's name before we publish a player page. That is how this one surfaced. If you find another, please tell us through the corrections link at the foot of this page.

🏴 All England 2026: five wins

⚠️We have no summary page for the 2026 All England Open. The tournament itself was a Super 1000 held from 3 to 8 March 2026 at the Utilita Arena Birmingham, England. It is therefore not in the results cards above, nor in this page's count of 14 recorded results. But Wang entered as the 2nd seed and won the title, and all five scores agree between the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia, so we record them here (added on 24 September 2026).

Diagram of Wang Zhiyi's five matches at the 2026 All England Open, labelled in Japanese. Seeded 2nd, she beat Hina Akechi of Japan 21-15, 21-15 in 42 minutes in the first round on 4 March, Supanida Katethong of Thailand 21-19, 21-18 in 47 minutes in the second round on 5 March, Tomoka Miyazaki of Japan 21-13, 8-21, 21-16 in 68 minutes in the quarter-final on 6 March, her only three-game match of the week, Akane Yamaguchi of Japan, the 4th seed, 21-15, 21-19 in 43 minutes in the semi-final on 7 March, and An Se-young of Korea, the top seed, 21-15, 21-19 in 59 minutes in the final on 8 March. Five wins out of five and her first All England title. The semi-final and the final ended with the same score.
Scores are written from Wang's point of view. The chart is labelled in Japanese.

Five wins out of five, and her first All England title. Three of the five opponents were Japanese, and all three have a page on this site.

Sources: the official BWF day data for the tournament and the draw on English Wikipedia, which agree on every score. Our own All England 2027 page also lists her as the holder. We do not explain why any of it happened.

🏆 Career highlights

📅 What's next

🥉The most recent event we record for her is the Asian Games 2026 in Ichinomiya, Aichi (20 to 29 September), where she took bronze in women's singles and gold in the women's team event. In the team final on 24 September (China 3-0 Japan) she came from a game down to beat Akane Yamaguchi 14-21, 21-19, 21-17 (1 hour 15 minutes) in the first match. In the individual event, as the 2nd seed, she beat LIN Hsiang Ti (TPE) 21-7, 21-12 in the quarter-final and lost the semi-final on 28 September to Yamaguchi 11-21, 20-22 (there is no bronze play-off, so both beaten semi-finalists take bronze). We have not recorded her individual matches before the quarter-final or her other team matches. ⚠️These three matches are not in the 14-match count on this page (scores from Wang's side). Before that came the China Masters 2026, which ended on 6 September with her semi-final defeat.

The European autumn swing is the Denmark Open 2026 from 13 to 18 October in Odense (under way) and the French Open 2026 from 20 to 25 October near Paris, both Super 750. She is the holder we list on our pages for the Hong Kong Open 2026 in November and the All England 2027 next March.

⚠️ Our Denmark Open 2026 page follows the Japanese entries and does not show her results up to the quarter-finals, but it does list her (2nd seed) in the women's singles semi-finals on 17 October against Akane Yamaguchi (JPN, 3rd seed), scheduled for 20:10 Japan time — so she is through to the last four (the event runs until the 18th; later if earlier matches overrun). The French Open 2026 draw came out on 15 October, but our tournament page lists only the Japanese entries' first-round matches, so we have not recorded her place in the draw. No entry list has been published for the Hong Kong Open 2026 or the All England 2027, and we do not guess at names. Linked pages are in Japanese unless marked EN.

103,989 points from 16 counted events. On 15 September 2026 she was also No. 2 with the same points, from 15 counted events. English Wikipedia lists her career high as No. 2, on 19 November 2024; we hold only one source for that one figure.

🔍 Keep your own scoresheet

The words "last four" tell you nothing about the week. At the 2026 World Championships, three of her four wins were in straight games, the shortest of them 32 minutes, while the third round took 88 minutes. Whether that has anything to do with the 22-24, 16-21 semi-final is not something we can tell you. All we publish is the score and the clock.

🔴Our tournament pages follow the Japanese entries. That means a page about a player from another country has more gaps than one about a Japanese player. Here we do not hold anything before her China Open quarter-final, nor the score of her China Masters first round, nor her second round there. Where we hold nothing, we say so.

🇯🇵Read alongside a Japanese player's page and the same match appears from the other side. On Nozomi Okuhara's page the China Masters quarter-final is the line that ends her week; the same 21-6, 21-10 is the line that carries Wang into the semi-final here. On Tomoka Miyazaki's page, the semi-final that followed is the line that reads "into the final".

❓ Frequently asked questions

Who is Wang Zhiyi and where is she from?

She is a badminton player from China. The player profile on the Japanese specialist site Badminton Spirit gives her English name as Wang Zhi yi, her date of birth as 29 April 2000, her height as 171cm and her playing hand as right. The English Wikipedia article agrees on all of it. This page uses the BWF romanisation WANG Zhi Yi first; our Japanese tournament pages use the Chinese characters throughout.

What is Wang Zhiyi's world ranking?

World No. 2 in women's singles as of 13 October 2026, with 103,989 points from 16 counted events. On 15 September 2026 she was also No. 2 with the same points, from 15 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 please read this as a dated record and check the BWF website for the latest list.

What are Wang Zhiyi's 2026 results?

In the events we cover with a tournament page: runner-up at the German Open 2026 (Super 300, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany) in February as the top seed, last four at the China Open 2026 (Super 1000, Changzhou) in July, bronze at the 2026 BWF World Championships in New Delhi in August as the 3rd seed, and last four at the China Masters 2026 (Super 750, Shenzhen) in September. We hold the score of 14 of her matches up to 5 September, ten wins and four losses (her All England matches and later Asian Games matches are written separately). Nine of those 14 are on our own tournament pages; the other five, her first and second rounds at the World Championships and her first three rounds at the German Open, come from the BWF day data and the draw table on English Wikipedia. She also won the All England in March and was runner-up at the Asian Championships in April, but we have no summary page for either, so neither appears in the results cards above.

How far did Wang Zhiyi go at the 2026 German Open?

To the final. As the top seed she beat Tasnim Mir (IND) 21-9, 21-14 in 28 minutes on 25 February 2026, Amalie Schulz (DEN) 21-9, 21-14 in 30 minutes on 26 February, Line Christophersen (DEN) 21-14, 21-19 in 40 minutes in the quarter-final on 27 February, and Tomoka Miyazaki (JPN, 4th seed) 21-10, 21-18 in 42 minutes in the semi-final on 28 February, all in straight games. She lost the final on 1 March to unseeded Han Qianxi (CHN) 19-21, 20-22 in 51 minutes. The semi-final and final scores are on our German Open 2027 page, which carries the 2026 results, and all five scores agree across BWF's official day-by-day match data and the English Wikipedia draw.

Has Wang Zhiyi won the World Championships?

No. The bronze at New Delhi in August 2026 is the only World Championships medal in the medal table on the English Wikipedia article. Seeded 3rd, she won four rounds in a row and then lost the semi-final 22-24, 16-21 to An Se-young (KOR, 1st seed) on 22 August. The World Championships have no third-place play-off, so both beaten semi-finalists take bronze. An Se-young won the 2026 title and Akane Yamaguchi (JPN) was runner-up.

Did Wang Zhiyi win the All England?

Yes, in 2026. She beat An Se-young (KOR) 21-15, 21-19 in the final on 8 March. This is confirmed by the BWF World Tour title list on English Wikipedia and by the holder we list on our own All England 2027 page. We have no summary page for the All England 2026 itself, so that event does not appear in the results cards above.

Who did Wang Zhiyi beat at the 2026 All England?

Seeded 2nd, she won all five rounds for her first title. On 4 March she beat Hina Akechi (JPN) 21-15, 21-15 in 42 minutes in the first round, on 5 March Supanida Katethong (THA) 21-19, 21-18 in 47 minutes in the second round, on 6 March Tomoka Miyazaki (JPN) 21-13, 8-21, 21-16 in 68 minutes in the quarter-final, on 7 March Akane Yamaguchi (JPN, 4th seed) 21-15, 21-19 in 43 minutes in the semi-final, and on 8 March An Se-young (KOR, 1st seed) 21-15, 21-19 in 59 minutes in the final. Three of her five opponents were Japanese. The scores are confirmed against the official BWF day data and the draw on English Wikipedia.

How has Wang Zhiyi done against Japanese players?

We do not rank players against each other. On our tournament pages there are four meetings with Japanese players in 2026, two wins and two defeats: she beat Tomoka Miyazaki 21-10, 21-18 in 42 minutes in the German Open semi-final on 28 February, lost the China Open semi-final on 25 July 10-21, 21-6, 16-21 to Akane Yamaguchi, beat Nozomi Okuhara 21-6, 21-10 in the China Masters quarter-final on 4 September, and lost the semi-final there on 5 September 19-21, 21-23 in 60 minutes to Tomoka Miyazaki. What we hold is only the matches on our own tournament pages, not a career head-to-head.

How old is Wang Zhiyi, and what has she won?

She was born on 29 April 2000 and is 26 as of 7 September 2026. Her main titles are the 2026 All England, the Badminton Asia Championships in 2022 and 2024, the 2024 BWF World Tour Finals, the 2024 China Open (Super 1000) and the 2025 Hong Kong Open. At the World Championships her best result is the 2026 bronze, and she was runner-up at the 2026 Asian Championships.

How should her name be written?

This page puts the BWF romanisation first: WANG Zhi Yi. The English Wikipedia article titles her Wang Zhiyi, and our Japanese tournament pages write her name in Chinese characters throughout, so the Japanese version of this page leads with those. Badminton Spirit also publishes a katakana reading for Japanese readers, which the Japanese page carries; one of our own tournament pages writes that reading with a long final vowel instead. We do not invent a spelling or a reading that our sources do not publish.

What if something on this page is wrong?

Corrections and removal requests go through our support page, and we give priority to messages from the player herself or from her federation. This is an unofficial summary. We publish only what our sources publish, and every ranking on the page carries the date it was taken from. Building this page turned up an error of our own — one score on our World Championships page — which we corrected at the same time.

📮 Corrections and removal. This is an unofficial summary built from published information. If anything here is factually wrong, or if the player or their team would like this page taken down, please contact us and we will correct or remove it promptly. We do not publish anything about injuries, health or private life.
