Overview
- An Se‑young beat Tomoka Miyazaki 21‑17, 21‑6 on Sunday to win the China Masters at Shenzhen Arena and finish the tournament without dropping a game.
- The victory is her third consecutive China Masters title, making her the first player to complete a Super 750 hat‑trick at the event.
- The Shenzhen crown is An’s seventh individual title of 2026 and follows her successful defence of the world championship in New Delhi that restored her to world No. 1.
- She will carry this momentum into the Aichi–Nagoya Asian Games, where the women’s team event begins Sept. 20 and the singles competition starts Sept. 25 with An widely seen as the favourite to defend her gold.
- The win extended her head‑to‑head record over Miyazaki to 8‑0, earned the champion roughly US$87,500, and increases pressure on rivals while boosting South Korea’s hopes for both individual and team success at the Asiad.
