The Maruzen Intec Arena in Osaka will play host to the $750,000 Japan Open in badminton in 2022, which runs from August 30 to September 4. Reigning world champion Viktor Axelsen will not be competing, while second-seed Kento Momota crashed out from the first round, therefore the men’s singles competition has no clear favorite in sight.

3rd September: Semi-finals begin
September 4: Finals begin
2022 Japan Open Badminton Men’s Singles First Round Results, Score, Winners, And Indian Performance
The 2022 Japan Open for badminton’s second day was absolutely insane. On Wednesday, a number of top seeded at the Osaka tournament lost their opening round matches, including Momota Kento and Lee Zii Jia in the men’s singles. Sixth-ranked Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, who was unable to play due to a lower back injury, also granted a free pass to Kunlavut Vitidsarn, the runner-up at the BWF world championships in Tokyo last week.
Lee, who is viewed as the only BWF Tour competitor with a chance to outslug Axelsen, lost against Kidambi Srikanth 22-20, 23-21. Despite having game points in all both of his sets against Kidambi, Lee allowed his Indian opponent to win and turn the tables on him. Meanwhile, Indian ace Sen, 21, lost his first round match with a score of 21-18, 14-21, 13-21 against Japanese Kenta Nishimoto despite winning the first set.
When his opponent from Hong Kong, Ng ka Long Angus, retired during the first match, HS Prannoy had already advanced to the second round earlier on Tuesday. Hence, India will have two representatives in the second round of men’s singles on Thursday in the form of HS Prannoy & Kidambi Srikanth.
