BWF Japan Masters 2024: Live streaming, TV channel, where and how to watch?

Japan Masters will be the final super 500 series event in the BWF tour this season.

The Japan Masters 2024 will see the top ranked shuttlers making a comeback to the court. This season marks the second edition of the event in the BWF tour. With only three more events left this year, the shuttlers are aiming to showcase their best performance over the next few days. The super 500 series event is expected to have 395 shuttlers compete in five events.

The men’s singles main draw is led by defending champion, Viktor Axelsen who is making a comeback after being down with a virus during the Denmark open last month. Japan’s Kodai Naraoka is the second seed and had exited in the second round last time. Lee Zii Jia is also expected to return to the tour after suffering an ankle injury a month ago.

India’s Lakshya Sen will be in action and will be playing in his third event since the Paris Olympics. He had lost in the round of 16 at the Arctic open and in the opening round of Denmark Open. Sen has not won a match since August. He is the only Indian in the men’s singles main draw in Japan and had lost in the opening round of the inaugural edition.

In the women’s singles main draw, China’s Wang Zhi Yi looks to be a strong contender for the title, she has clinched two titles and a runner up finish in the last four events. Tai Tzu-ying will look to register crucial wins as she is set to retire in a couple of weeks. Akane Yamaguchi will be playing the event after having to withdraw last time. Defending champion, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung is also in fray.
