I guess GC has included the SSF in her total titles that the spreadsheet doesn't because;
1) SSF is not a open t'ment and for invitations only; and more importantly
2) it's not guaranteed for every year, some years has none and some has 2 within a year that will mess up the spreadsheet format.
for your Q2, based on the spreadsheet, i.e excl the SSF
the top3 are
1) Yu Yang 37
2) Lee Yong Dae 36
3) Zhao YunLei 35
Thanks AlanY for the sum up. But did AY won her first SS title in Japan Open 2013?
of course you're right.
Akane Yamaguchi was the girl won her first SS title this year, not Akane Yamaguchi.
After checking the stats, I think it was Nozomi Okuhara, not Akane Yamaguchi.
thank you, it's a NO then
