Both Kento Momota and Carolina Marin added a new title to their records.

The women's final was to most beautiful one yesterday in Tokyo. A 1 hour and 14 minutes fight against host's Nozomi Okuhara and Carolina Marin is the new Japan Open winner. Ever since the word championships, Carolina Marin seemed back with her full potential. She will be in Paris for the French Open from 23 to 28th and we can wait to see her play !

 

Kento Momota seems instoppable. After beating easily world number 1 Viktor Axelsen 21/18 21/11 in semi-finals, the japanese added another trophy to his collection by deafinting the surprise of the week Khosit Phetpradab, winner against Shi Yuqi and Chen Long (21/14 21/11)
