Had to check, of course. I had memorized it before, so it was nearly correct (mixed up the "m" and "n"). Would love to see him play badminton, by the way. Lifting would be a thing of the past.
Thats what you call demolition but many other players also lost straight game, just look at yesterday SF.
Feel sorry for FukuHiro, they may make a better final than this, Jpn team should consider seriously about sending MatsuNaga to Olympic
I thought ChenJia is WR1 for few weeks already? In any case never convinced with M/W . They are not as good as Fukurota as in they are compatible against many other pairs compared to Fukurota. Japan is doing 2 silly mistakes in this tournament.
All the champions so far is AE Champion.. I think being AE Champions gives a bigger boost because its played earlier in the year. Most who had AE had a good year while those who have WC, is more like a salvaging type ( MayuWakana, LC/ZN , etc). This is what i see since 2017.
Oh are they? Former WR1 then and twice WC. LC/ZN at least won 1 SSP beating minions in the final before LC went off boil forever. Something that other WCs haven't been able to do just yet.
2017 : only Minions won both AE and (Dubai)Superseries Finals 2018 : none won both 2019 : so far Momota, CQC/JYF and ZSW/HYQ have won both.
beside the finalists, the losing semifinalists are too. anyway this is just a cash-rich year-end tournament to reward those outstanding performers for a calendar year.
