Well, the final day is coming and exciting encounters are expected to entertain all badminton diehard fans. It's Asia v Europe in singles category also MD as well, CHN has most representatives in today's final with 1 title has been secured, followed by DEN and one each for three other nations, ESP, IND and INA.
XD, Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (CHN) v Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir (INA)
Head-to-head stats : 6-5
Rematch of All England Final in 2013 and 2014, both elite pairs have equal opportunity to win as their close head to head record. Last meeting the world#1 overcame INA best combo in Incheon AG Final, only the more prepared mentally and physically pair who will seal the title. Ahmad/Natsir had better strategy to dispose their archrival Fischer/Pedersen yesterday with more aggressive and solid defense than DEN combination.
WS, Saina Nehwal (IND) v Carolina Marin (ESP)
H-2-H : 3-0
New history will be created by either Nehwal or Marin today. Saina will become first WS player to lift AE trophy while Marin will try her best to be first player ever who nails AE title for their respective country. The Indian has slight advantage to score victory against her Spaniard rival but high confidenced reigning World Champion will do her magic as she did in Copenhagen last summer. These two players last duel was IND GP Gold final early this year when Nehwal bested in marathon match.
MS, Chen Long (CHN) v Jan O Jorgensen (DEN)
H-2-H : 6-1
This final clash goes to the scenario when top two seeds facing each other. Third final in a row since 2013 for top-seed Chen Long who is favourite to retain his 2013 title but nothing is impossible for Jorgensen who toppled Chen in INA SSP last year, he's in prime condition after pocketed GER GP Gold and all four straight-sets winning en route to last round. Will Jorgensen bring DEN MS on top honour since Peter Gade successful in 1999?
WD, Wang Xiaoli/Yu Yang (CHN) v Bao Yixin/Tang Yuanting (CHN)
H-2-H : 0-0
It would be huge surprise if the new partnerships of Bao/Tang bagged champion crown. Wang/Yu is on the way to produce hat-trick here, 4th title overall. Tang Yuanting was also the finalist last year who partnered with Ma Jin.
MD, Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan (CHN) v Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen (DEN)
H-2-H : 1-0
The darkhorse fast and furios CHN pair potentially will upset former champion Denmark pair. Their final run was highlighted to eliminate big names, last year winner, Ahsan/Setiawan, this important winning certainly has boosted CHN pair to AE ambition. The vast experienced DEN pair is tough nut to crack as they performed to overturn Endo/Hayakawa in semi where the Japanese pairs led comfortably in early stage.
That would be awesome for her.
