World number 10 beat Kenta Nishimoto 21-11, 10-21, 21-15 to end two-year title drought
TOKYO:
Japan’s Kodai Naraoka won his first badminton title in two years after battling past countryman Kenta Nishimoto 21-11, 10-21, 21-15 in the Kumamoto Masters final on Sunday.
Naraoka, the world number 10, claimed his first piece of silverware since the China Open in November 2023 after coming through a tough scrap in western Japan.
He took the first game in little time but world number 13 Nishimoto hit straight back to level the match.
Naraoka eventually prevailed after a third-game slugfest, increasing his chances of qualifying for the season-ending World Tour Finals.

His compatriot Ratchanok Intanon won the women’s singles final, beating Indonesia’s Gregoria Mariska Tunjung 21-16, 22-20.
The win gave the number 3 seed her second title of the year, following her victory at the Indonesia Masters in January.
In mixed doubles, Thailand’s top-seeded Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Supissara Paewsampran edged French number 2 seeds Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue 21-18, 14-21, 21-18.
South Korean top seeds Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae won the men’s doubles title, coming from behind to beat Japan’s unseeded Hiroki Midorikawa and Kyohei Yamashita 20-22, 21-11, 21-16.
In women’s doubles, Malaysian top seeds Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan beat Japanese number 4 seeds Rin Iwanaga and Kie Nakanishi 22-20, 21-19.
