I didn't contradict anything. I did said "as a pair". Kong first reached the SS final with Kim Ha Na in 2017. As for Saina, I don't take Commonwealth Games into consideration since it is not BWF event.
Fun Facts in Spain Masters : Denmark won in both single events. Wang/Lee's first partnership debut ends up winning the title. Kim/Kong also won their first title as a pair. Highest title for Kong. Denmark is the overall winner. Both Denmark and Korea won 2 titles, but Denmark has more representatives in Final.
Fun Facts in German Open : Two of 5 finals are same country matches. AY won hattrick titles in this tournament. Du/Li's title in this tournament is the highest one they ever get as a pair. Seo/Chae won back-to-back titles after winning Spain Masters last week and German Open this week. Japan won 3 titles, thus becoming the overall winner.
As a matter of general curiosity, how are you collecting the numbers-information? And from where? Also, what is WTF in WTF 2018 signify here? I reckon all the other abbreviations are initials of players. I was looking for an API for the tournamentsoftware website, however there does not appear to be easy to find.
Thorough research and knowledge. I can obtain these statistics from player's statistics and the others. I mainly used tournamentsoftware as the source.

I dont like how there is empty spaces in the middle. IndonesiaOpen should be scheduled in June and WC should be say in late July. Most probably i want the 2nd half tournaments to be pushed a month forward. December should be for rest and not having tournaments. Thats why most importantly to stay injury free but even EndYear to NewYear no rest.
European Games is held in June. That's why there is no tournaments in June. There were already similar cases such as Commonwealth Games and Asian Games last year.
It's my fault, I made it for my group (Vietnamese group) so I just focus to Asia but skip tournaments in Europe. I've just added Europe games to the picture above Because "European Badminton Championships" would be held every 2 years, so in this year, we wouldn't have this event.
Well actually the current rule is European Championships will be held every year except when there is European Games (just like WC)
