SUMMARY:2025 Japan Open
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Japan Open (also known as the Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 Badminton Championships for sponsorship reasons) was a badminton tournament held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo\, Japan\, from July 15 to July 20\, 2025. It was the 42nd edition of the Japan Open championships\, and part of the BWF World Tour Super 750 tournaments on the 2025 BWF World Tour. This event featured a total prize fund of US$950\,000. \nThe 2025 Japan Open marked a notable first in the World Tour era: for the first time\, no Japanese representative reached the final across any discipline. \n\nAkane Yamaguchi\, the defending women’s singles champion\, fell short of reaching the final\, defeated in the semifinals by China’s Wang Zhiyi. \nIn the men’s singles\, defending champion Alex Lanier was unable to retain his title\, losing in the final to Shi Yuqi of China – the very opponent he had bested in last year’s Japan Open semifinals. \nBoth the defending women’s doubles and mixed doubles champions successfully retained their titles. \nThis year’s Japan Open saw a concentrated distribution of titles\, with only two nations claiming victory: China dominated the Men’s Singles\, Women’s Doubles\, and Mixed Doubles\, while South Korea secured the Women’s Singles and Men’s Doubles. This contrasts sharply with last year’s event\, where titles were shared among four different countries\, including the host nation. \n\nThe sight of many empty seats inside the final match arena was hard to ignore. It prompts us to consider whether this indicates a downturn in badminton’s Japanese following\, or if it’s a direct result of there being no Japanese representatives vying for the ultimate prize – a factor that often significantly impacts local spectator turnout. \nChampions\n\n\n\nMen’s Singles\nShi Yuqi (CHN)\n\n\nWomen’s Singles\nAn Se-young (KOR)\n\n\nMen’s Doubles\nKim Won-ho / Seo Seung-jae (KOR)\n\n\nWomen’s Doubles\nLiu Shengshu / Tan Ning (CHN)\n\n\nMixed Doubles\nJiang Zhenbang / Wei Yaxin (CHN)\n\n\n\nResults and Tournament Draw Live Score \nSchedule\nAll times are local\, Japan Standard Time (UTC+9). \n\n\n\nDates\nRound\nStart Time\n\n\nTuesday\, July 15\nRound of 32 (Top Half)\n9:00 AM\n\n\nWednesday\, July 16\nRound of 32 (Bottom Half)\n9:00 AM\n\n\nThursday\, July 17\nRound of 16\n9:00 AM\n\n\nFriday\, July 18\nQuarter-Finals\n10:00 AM\n\n\nSaturday\, July 19\nSemi-Finals\n10:00 AM\n\n\nSunday\, July 20\nFinals\n11:00 AM\n\n\n\nTo ensure you don’t miss a single moment\, we’ve broken down the match start times for various cities around the world\, noting their difference from Japan Standard Time (JST).
