May has arrived and it's time for BWF team event, this year we have Sudirman Cup which takes place in Dongguan, a fast developed city in southern China. This is the 4th time for badminton giant China to host world mixed team championships after 2005 (Beijing), 2009 (Guangzhou) and 2011 (Qingdao).
The 14th edition of Sudirman Cup will see top 12 rank nations that divided by four subgroups which consist of three participating countries for each subgroup. Who will lift the trophy on Sunday's grand final?
Host China really dominates this event to top podium nine times (1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013) followed by Korea (1991, 1993, 2003) and Indonesia (1989). Title holder and long time favourite in team event, China is predicted will extend their supremacy with their powerful squad here, Lin Dan, Chen Long, Li Xuerui, Wang Yihan, Fu Haifeng, Cai Yun, Zhang Nan, Zhao Yunlei, Wang Xiaoli, Yu Yang, who can deny the formidable Chinese team for their 10th title quest? Their only relative weak link is MD.
Three time champions KOR is the most potential rival that could shake CHN mission. They did previously in various team events, Sudirman Cup 2003, Uber Cup 2010 and last year's Incheon AG Men's team event. Lee Yong Dae/Yoo Yeon Seong will lead Korean team along with Son Wan Ho, Sung Ji Hyun, Ko Sung Hyun, Shin Baek Cheol, Kim Ha Na, Chang Ye Na. Korea is known to produce good scratch pairs that keep their opponent guessing the line-up.
Another strong contender is Japan, we witnessed them for extraordinary achievement in Thomas Cup last year. In Sudirman Cup 2015 they bring some young bloods, Kento Momota, Nozomi Okuhara, Akane Yamaguchi combined with established double specialists Hiroyuki Endo, Kenichi Hayakawa, Misaki Matsutomo, Ayaka Takahashi who often trouble Chinese shuttlers at individual tournament. Japan has bright opportunity to claim higher outcome in Sudirman Cup this time as they never reached semifinal round in previous editions.
Other contestants, first edition winner INA has not enough power in singles category but they have reliable MD and XD. European powerhouse DEN missed their leading players in doubles category, Boe/Mogensen, Fischer/Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl due to sponsorship conflict, this unfortunate circumstances will dampen their chance to do well here.
THA, IND, MAS, TPE may spring some surprises with their respective badminton stars, Ratchanok Intanon, Saina Nehwal, Srikanth Kidambi, Chou Tien Chen, Tai Tzu Ying and last but not least former world #1, Lee Chong Wei who returns to play per May 1, 2015.
