The Japan Open badminton tournament was held in Tokyo, July 24-28. There were five events. Yamaguchi Akane beat Okuhara Nozomi in the finals to win the women’s singles, and Momota Kenji won in two straight sets against Jonatan Christie of Indonesia. The Japanese women’s double team of Matsumoto and Nagahara made it to the finals but lost to the Korean team. Indonesian players won the men’s doubles, and China won the mixed doubles. All in all, things are looking good for Japan in the 2020 Summer Olympics. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
