India’s rising badminton star Unnati Hooda faces a stern challenge against Japan’s eighth seed Tomoka Miyazaki in the opening round of the Singapore Open 2026 women’s singles event on Tuesday. The 18-year-old Hooda enters the Super 750 tournament with growing confidence after impressive performances this season, including her Polish Open title and strong Uber Cup outings. However, Miyazaki holds the upper hand in recent meetings, having defeated the Indian youngster in straight games at the Badminton Asia Championships earlier this year. The Japanese star, a former junior world champion and current world No. 9, is known for her speed and sharp court coverage. Hooda, currently ranked inside the world’s top 20, will rely on her attacking game and composure in long rallies as she looks to cause an upset and progress into the second round in Singapore.
