Kie Nakanishi (中西 貴映, Nakanishi Kie, born 24 December 1995) is a Japanese badminton player affiliated with the Biprogy team.[1]
Career
[edit]2024
[edit]Rin Iwanaga and Kie Nakanishi won the women's doubles title at the 2024 Denmark Open. It was their first Super 750 title and their fifth consecutive tournament final win of the year. They maintained a perfect record at finals in 2024, having won the Spain Masters, Malaysia Masters, US Open, and Canada Open. In the semifinals, they defeated Baek Ha-na and Lee So-hee after a 95-minute battle for their first win in seven matches against the pair.[2] In the final, they beat the Paris 2024 Olympic silver medalists and newly crowned world No. 1 pair Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning of China in straight games 21–18, 21–14. This win solidified their position as the second-ranked pair in the BWF World Tour Finals rankings, and it was their second win over Liu and Tan in three encounters. This win was particularly significant as Iwanaga and Nakanishi became the second non-Chinese pair to defeat Liu and Tan since the Paris Olympics, the other being Pearly Tan / Thinaah Muralitharan.[3]
