Recently, Japanese No. 1 Kento Momota successively withdrew from two European events (Denmark Open and French Open), attracting attention from the outside world.
Danish Open belongs to the Super 750 Championship and will be held in Odense from October 18 to 23, with a total prize of US$750,000. Next is the French Open, also the Super 750, which will be held in Paris from October 25 to 30, with a total prize of US$675,000.
The Japanese Badminton Association recently announced the list of the 2022 Danish and French Badminton Opens. Kento Momota has retired, and only the men's singles players are left, Kamata Takayama, Nishimoto Futa and Naraoka have great achievements.
Momota Kento had previously signed up for these two events, and they are still on the signing form. The reason for withdrawal has attracted attention from the outside world. This Japanese star, whose world ranking has now slipped to 7th, has not won the championship since the Indonesia Open in November 2021.
Momota Kento said in an interview recently that he cannot find the joy brought by badminton at present, and he decided to take a break for a while and he will not participate in the remaining games this year.
If Momota no longer participates in the next competition this year, his ranking may decline again and again.
