On August 31, the 2022 BWF Tour Super 750 Japan Open entered its second matchday in Osaka. The Japanese badminton team, as the host, continues to play at home after the World Championships, but they continue to suffer heavy losses today, and the men's singles brother Momota Kendou was swept by Indonesia's fourth singles Waldojo, achieving a season double! The men's singles head small nanny combination Hoki Tsurugi / Kobayashi Yugo and the women's double head goat combination Matsuyama Naomi / Shida Chiyo, both suffered strength, and the double round of the tour was out.
At the Badminton World Championships that ended last week, the Japanese badminton team played at home and finally defended the title with Akane Yamaguchi in the women's singles field, winning the only championship, and also finished second in mixed doubles and a third place in women's doubles. Their men's singles and men's doubles are collectively missing the round of 8. Such a scene has to be reminiscent of the Tokyo Olympics a year ago, when the Japanese badminton team shouted a slogan to win all five individual championships at home before the game, and only won a mixed doubles bronze medal and lost facelessly.
A year later, at the World Championships held in Tokyo, Japan, the Japanese team's performance has finally improved, at least one championship, but the overall results are quite bad, especially their men's doubles and women's doubles combinations, which have suffered the embarrassment of early exit. This week, the Japanese team continued to move to Osaka, continuing to fight at home and trying to reverse the decline. However, in the first round of the game, the Japanese team did not sweep away the haze and continued to fall into the spell of exit in many events.
In the women's doubles, This season's outstanding form, has become the Japanese women's doubles head combination of Nawei Matsuyama / Chiyo Shida, facing the South Korean combination of Jung Na Yin / Kim Hye-jeong, the result was 21-23, 19-21, two consecutive sets of 2 points, and finally lost 0-2, tragically hit by a round of travel. In the men's doubles, last year's World Championship champion duo Ofaki Tsuru and Yugo Kobayashi faced Indonesia's karting duo Karnando/Martin, 14-21, 17-21, and also lost two consecutive sets.
For the men's team's first brother Momota Kendou, he was defeated by India's pranoy in the third round at last week's World Championships, which has made the outside world lose confidence in him to some extent. This week's trip to the Japan Open, the first round encountered the Fourth Man in the Indonesian Men's Singles Vardoyo, but the result was 15-21, 20-22, losing two consecutive sets, especially in the second set, Momota Kendou once held 3 innings 20-17, but was scored by the opponent for 5 consecutive points, directly away in a wave. Waldo also achieved a season double-win against Kento Momota after the first round of this year's Asian Championships.
