The Badminton Samurai
2014–2024 · Retired
World #1 · 2× World Champion · 11 titles in 2019
Collection value
$2,500+
4 racquets
The most dominant singles player of the late 2010s. Momota's 11-title 2019 season is considered one of the greatest individual campaigns in badminton history. A near-fatal car accident in January 2020 altered his career trajectory, but his impact on the sport — and on the Astrox 99 franchise — is permanent.
