2025 China Masters Betting Predictions

Here are our badminton China Masters 2025 betting tips:

Loh Kean Yew To Beat Weng Hong Yang @ 1.72 (3/4)

Our first betting tips for China Masters 2025 men’s singles start by backing Loh Kean Yew to win his first match. Loh enters the tournament with mixed form, but there are signs of a resurgence. He reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 World Championships and the Hong Kong Open. Despite losing to unseeded players, he displayed resilience, defeating top names like Kodai Naraoka. Conversely, Weng’s 2025 season has also been inconsistent, marked by early-round exits. However, Loh found success this year, winning the Super 300 Taipei Open and finishing runner-up at the German Open. That experience could prove crucial in his opening match against Weng in China.

Yu Jen Chi To Beat Yu Shi Tanaka @ 1.61 (3/5)

Yu Jen Chi has defeated Yu Shi Tanaka in all four of their meetings. His latest win came at the 2025 DAIHATSU Japan Open in July. There, he claimed a straight-sets victory, 21-9, 21-17, further underlining his dominance. Heading into the China Masters, Yu Jen Chi has shown promising form. His run at the Japan Open, defeating Tanaka and later Kenta Nishimoto en route to the quarterfinals, showcased momentum. Despite earlier exits elsewhere, beating top players like Nishimoto and Tanaka himself proves he has the level to open this tournament strongly. Yu’s 2025 BWF World Tour odds to win this match are offered at 1.61 (3/5).

Tomoka Miyasaki To Beat Gregoria Mariska Tunjung @ 1.72 (3/4)

Our only Women’s singles 2025 China Masters badminton predictions support Miyasaki to triumph against Gregoria. Their last meeting came at the November 2024 Kumamoto Masters, where Gregoria Mariska Tunjung claimed victory. However, since then, Tomoka Miyazaki has shown remarkable growth and consistency. She climbed to a career-high world ranking of No. 6 in June 2025 and now holds No. 9. Her 2025 season highlights include winning the Taipei Open and reaching the semifinals at the India Open and Thailand Open. Defeating a legend like Ratchanok Intanon in Thailand showcased her maturity, proving Miyazaki is ready to outclass Gregoria. Betting sites for badminton have offered Miyasaki odds of 1.72 (3/4) to win this matchup.
