Japan Sweep Doubles Titles at Yonex US Open 2026

YONEX US Open 2026 | Super 300 | Doubles Finals | Titan Gym, Fullerton, California | Sunday, June 28, 2026

Introduction

Japan swept both the men’s and women’s doubles titles at the YONEX US Open 2026, with Hiroki Okamura and Kyohei Yamashita denying Chinese Taipei’s Chen Zhi Ray and Lin Yu Chieh, while Sumire Nakade and Miyu Takahashi completed the double by getting past compatriots Hinata Suzuki and Nao Yamakita on their way to the women’s doubles crown. Chinese Taipei, chasing a clean sweep of all three paired disciplines, had to settle for silver in both, before making amends in the mixed doubles.

Men’s Doubles: Okamura and Yamashita Prevail in Decider

Detail	Information
Result	Hiroki Okamura/Kyohei Yamashita (JPN) bt Chen Zhi Ray/Lin Yu Chieh (TPE) 21-18, 16-21, 21-16
Points Gained	Okamura/Yamashita 7,000; Chen/Lin 5,950

The Japanese pairing needed all three games to see off a determined Chinese Taipei challenge, dropping the second game after taking the first before closing out the decider 21-16. It’s a significant result for Okamura and Yamashita, who entered the tournament well outside the top 100 in the world rankings, underlining just how open the men’s doubles draw proved to be in Fullerton.

Women’s Doubles: An All-Japan Final

Detail	Information
Semi-final	Sumire Nakade/Miyu Takahashi (JPN) bt Hinata Suzuki/Nao Yamakita (JPN) 21-18, 21-18
Other Semi-final	Lin Chih-Chun/Yang Chu Yun (TPE) bt Kaho Osawa/Mai Tanabe (JPN) 21-14, 21-12
Final Podium	1. Nakade/Takahashi (JPN) 2. Lin Chih-Chun/Yang Chu Yun (TPE)

Japan’s strength in depth in women’s doubles was on full display, with three of the four semi-finalists carrying the flag before Nakade and Takahashi eventually completed the Japanese sweep of the title, seeing off Chinese Taipei’s Lin Chih-Chun and Yang Chu Yun in the final. Nakade and Takahashi had already shown their quality in the semi-finals, edging fellow Japanese pair Suzuki and Yamakita 21-18, 21-18 in a tight all-Japan affair.

Key Talking Points

• A clean sweep for Japan. Winning both men’s and women’s doubles titles underlines the strength of Japan’s pairs programme heading into the rest of the season.
• Heartbreak for Chinese Taipei. Runners-up in both disciplines, Chinese Taipei’s doubles pairs will have to settle for silver despite strong tournament runs — though they made amends elsewhere in the mixed event.
• Depth on display. Three different Japanese pairs reached the women’s doubles semi-finals, a rare show of strength in depth for a single nation at Super 300 level.

Conclusion

Japan’s doubles dominance in Fullerton was built on depth as much as individual quality, with multiple pairs pushing deep into both draws. For Chinese Taipei, a pair of runner-up finishes will sting, but the nation’s doubles programme showed enough quality across the week to suggest more silverware is coming — starting with their mixed doubles triumph on the same afternoon.
