i dont disagree, that is how it's 'normally done' but my guess is it isn't a bwf law or rule of how the host arrange the event sequence. That is what home game advantage is all about. Personally, in this case, i don't see it makes any difference.

BTW, as LYD, MD should be much easier as JJS can cover his back. Generally MX gets a male player more tired than playing in MD.

Errr, it is the norm in finals especially, for XD to be played 1st & doubles last(5th), is the same player is involved in both dept. Or stimes, doubles 1st match, XD last match.
If few players involved in 2 dept i.e. one player in XD and WD, another in XD and MD, then it'll be 1st and 4th, 1st and 5th (last). But seldom 2nd & last when only 1 player is playing both dept.
