Ws, wd(1 of them or both count as 1), female player of xd compete for female player of the year now it seems like male and female player of the year use the same old format. Pair of the year is the new award for wd, md, xd. I think soon it all will become 5 awards for 5 categories male player of the year: vik. Yuta also have 5 wt750+ but not including olympic like vik female player of the year: chen y 3 wt750+ including olympic pair of the year and most improved player of the year: lee wang 4 wt750+ including olympic i think clearly they are the winner. If not, it would be robbery for most promising player, i choose kun
results: male player of the year: vik female player of the year: tai pair of the year: Greysia Polii/Apriyani Rahayu most improved player of the year: lee/wang most promising player of the year: kun 2/5 bullshi*
