Another finishing line for minions. Congratulations for their 8th title of the year and 4th consecutive Fuzhou China Open in a row. With this tournament, minions have played 10 ranked tournaments for the Race to Tokyo. Since their lowest tournament points is 1,300 from WC, they should still be able to reach a lot more points just by playing in any tournaments. ----------------------------------------- Updated 10/11/2019 : *(1) Malaysia Masters Super 500 -> Champion *(2) Indonesia Masters Super 500 -> Champion *(3) All England Open Super 1000; 06-10 March ->R1 exit *(4) Malaysia Open Super 750; 02-07 April -> QF exit *(5) Singapore Open Super 500; 09-14 April -> SF exit * Badminton Asia Championships (Individual); 23-28 April -> Silver Medalist Olympics qualification starting : * Sudirman Cup (Mixed Team); 19-26 May -> Bronze Medalist ; Pts: 11,003 ; Total: 11,003 + *(6) Indonesia Open Super 1000; 16-21 July -> Champion; Pts: 12,000; Total: 23,003 + *(7) Japan Open Super 750; 23-28 July -> Champion; Pts: 11,000; Total: 34,003 + *(8) Thailand Open Super 500; 30 July - 04 August -> QF exit; Pts: 5,040; Total: 39,043 + *- World Championships (Individual); 19-25 August -> R2 exit; Pts: 1,300; Total: 40,343 + *(9) China Open Super 1000; 17-22 Sept -> Champion; Pts : 12,000; Total: 52,343 + *(10) Korea Open Super 500; 24-29 Sept -> QF exit; Pts: 5,040; Total: 57,383 + *(11) Denmark Open Super 750; 15-20 Oct -> Champion; Pts: 11,000; Total: 68,383 + *(12) French Open Super 750; 22-27 Oct -> Champion; Pts: 11,000; Total: 79,383 + *(13) Fuzhou China Open Super 750; 05-10 Nov -> Champion; Pts: 11,000; Total: 90,383+ (14) Hong Kong Open Super 500; 12-17 Nov - W.T.F; 11-15 Dec *: competed.

Kevin activated the superhuman mode since 5-8 in the second game, and they won 21-9 lol. if only he can play like that consistently throughout the game I think it'll be hard for the opponent to even get to 10 points
This China Open used to be Premiere Super Series, the highest tier tournament. Now it was kinda demoted to Super 750 second highest tier tournament after the format changed to World Tour Series, so I guess they have transferred some of the prize money to the China Open Super 1000 perhaps?
Gideon's defense has been so solid lately, good to see. I think he's the MOTM today, stay solid throughout the match.
Yeah, he was on fire except for the last rally when he got chilled for standing at the net for too long Warming up to keep himself warmed and fired up to the last moment.
Except, Kevin and Marcus are probably not retiring any time soon (especially Kevin). It's not unusual for a retiring player to have regrets, however they usually wait until they retire to entertain those regrets. Your example is, therefore, a bit pointless
Geesh.. I can't even imagine but if I had to guess, it would probably be the defeats by CL's hands in the last two finals.
Kamura is such a friendly guy and Sonoda's lower arm is so hairy. Is that why he's so hyperactive on court? Again, congratulations on their consecutive 4th Fuzhou China Open title. May they break more records in the future.
When did Marcus dye his hair ? I didn't notice it. And what's the most peculiar hair dye he had at recent times ?
I think it was the lighting that made it look red lol. He was blonde a few minutes before He has had this dye since DO? He kept changing his hair (color). I must say the most peculiar one was in WO last year, very blonde and probably because they were wearing that bumble bee jersey
Minions won both of the two China Open this year. In Fuzhou, they are unbeatable as they won there for 4 consecutive years. Remarkable! They are unbeatable in Jakarta, Tokyo, Fuzhou. Which city is next?
