- Tomoka Miyazaki defeated Wang Zhiyi to reach the China Masters final against South Korea’s An Se-young.

- An and Miyazaki will meet for the first time in a final, while An seeks her third straight China Masters title.
The anticipated clash between the world’s top two badminton players has disappeared from the China Masters draw. In its place is a Japan-South Korea final between rising 20-year-old Tomoka Miyazaki and the current women’s badminton star, An Se-young.
Miyazaki produced the upset by defeating China’s Wang Zhiyi. The Japanese prospect then earned a place in the final, where she will face An for the China Masters title.
The match will be the first final meeting between An and Miyazaki. An, 24, represents Samsung Life and will attempt to win the China Masters for a third consecutive time. She has never lost to Miyazaki in their previous meetings, according to the report.
