PREVIEW: WORLDS OF OPPORTUNITY What a difference a year can make! Last year at this time, the circuit was dominated by distinct players/pairs: Kento Momota (men’s singles), Tai Tzu Ying (women’s singles), Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo (men’s doubles), Japan in women’s doubles, and Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong (mixed doubles). .<skip> .<skip> .<skip> .<skip> The Minions have worked up a good spell of results in time for the Worlds. In men’s doubles, Gideon and Sukamuljo regained their glow which they had lost early this season. The Minions salvaged what was an average season with victories in Indonesia and Japan, and will hope things go their way as they seek their first world crown. Their chief challengers are China’s Li Jun Hui/Liu Yu Chen; Japan’s Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda and Hiroyuki Endo/Yuta Watanabe; Indonesian compatriots Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto, and Denmark’s Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen.

Hmm that's a good one. What about next year? Don't tell me they will wear this jersey until they finish the Olympics Or maybe minions speed = car racing?
AFAIK, the jersey is only for one semester. Maybe at the end of the year or the beginning of the next year, the new jersey is out for them. As for Olympics, their jersey will be the same as other INA players and no sponsor is allowed.
Average season and they still won 4SS and 1 RU (BAC). talk about killer instinct. Didnt play India where they will have had Quarttrick and the TYK team event cup where they will have had extrapoints to be undisputed WR1. While LiLiu only has 4SS their entire career. HanZhou looked good after beating Minions in FO but cant do anything after that, and has 0 title this year. While we havent seen AstrupRasmussen dance again after CO lol.
Different mood by Marcus and Kevin haha probably the girls made the difference? Or is it the weather Though I am probably more like Kevin here in Summer haha If look could kill, I think there would be many casualties around me in hot weather
