Putri Kusuma Wardani vs Miyazaki Tomoka | Japan Open 2025 WS R16 | Home Seed Upset Highlights Putri Kusuma Wardani (INA) vs Tomoka Miyazaki [6] (JPN) — Women's Singles Round of 16 at the DAIHATSU Japan Open 2025, BWF Super 750, Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. July 17, 2025. Indonesia's Putri Kusuma Wardani delivered a composed and clinical performance to upset sixth seed and home favourite Tomoka Miyazaki 21-17, 21-14 in 48 minutes — advancing to the quarterfinals of the Japan Open in their first-ever meeting. Playing in front of a partisan Japanese home crowd, Putri neutralised Miyazaki's home-court advantage from the start, driving through both games with sharp attacking play and fast footwork that left the Japanese sixth seed with little room to settle. Miyazaki — a 2025 Indonesia Open finalist — could not find her rhythm against Putri's aggressive game plan in either game. The win marked a significant result for Putri in Super 750 competition, setting up a quarterfinal showdown against world No. 3 Akane Yamaguchi. 🏸 Tournament: DAIHATSU Japan Open 2025 (BWF Super 750) 📍 Venue: Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan 📅 Round: Women's Singles Round of 16 (R16) — July 17, 2025 🏆 Score: Putri def.
