In 2014, he won the Thomas Cup World Men's Badminton Team Championship and thus won his first world championship. In 2018, he won the men's singles championship at the Nanjing Badminton World Championships and won Japan's first men's singles gold medal in the 41-year history of the World Championships. On September 27, 2018, he ranked first in the badminton world rankings for the first time. This was also the first men's singles world number one in the history of Japanese badminton.

In March 2019, he won the men's singles championship at the 109th All England Badminton Open, becoming the first Japanese player to win the All England men's singles championship in the century-old All England history. On May 26, 2019, in the Sudirman Cup final, Momota lost to Shi Yuqi 1:2, and the Japanese team lost to the Chinese team 0:3 and won the runner-up. In July 2019, he won the men's singles championship at the Japan Badminton Open. On August 25, 2019, he defended the men's singles championship of the World Badminton Championships. Became the fourth player after Yang Yang, Lin Dan and Chen Long to win the World Championships men's singles championship. On December 9, 2019, he won the 2019 BWF Male Athlete of the Year, becoming the first Japanese player to win this honor in history.

On January 13, 2020, he was injured in a car accident in Malaysia. On January 3, 2021, Momota Kento was diagnosed with the new coronavirus. The Japanese badminton team subsequently announced the cancellation of plans to travel to Bangkok to participate in the Thailand Open. On July 28, 2021, in the badminton men's singles group stage of the Tokyo Olympics, Momota Kento lost to South Korea's Xu Gongxi 0:2 and missed the top 16. On October 3 of the same year, Momota Kento won the runner-up in the Sudirman Cup badminton competition.

In today’s Indonesian Open, Momota lost 1-2 to Denmark’s Jemke and was eliminated in the first round again. He is still ranked second in the World Badminton Federation rankings, but after watching today's game, I am really curious about what happened to him. He was unable to kill the ball during the game, ran slowly, and could not defend well. The main reason was that his enthusiasm was very poor and he was injured. Won the hearts of many fans.

What do you think about Momota?
