The Japanese team’s latest World Championship roster has only three men’s singles players: Kanta Tsuneyama, Kenta Nishimoto, and Kouki Watanabe.

Momota Kento is the men’s singles champion of the World Championships in Nanjing in 2018 and Basel in 2019, and is the top seed in this World Championships. An announcement from the Japan Badminton Association shows that the Japanese team has recently set off for Spain to prepare for this year's Huelva World Championships.

With the withdrawal of the Indonesian team and Momota Kento, the top half of the men's singles suddenly lost many masters. The three national badminton men's singles players, Lu Guangzu, Zhao Junpeng and Li Shifeng, have a good opportunity to compete for a good ranking. There are only three days left before the start of the World Championships. There is no definite news on whether the Badminton World Federation will re-draw lots.

This year’s Badminton World Championships will be held in Huelva, Spain, from December 12th to 19th. (Xinmin Evening News reporter Wang Zhiling)
