Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

TTY, CYF, HBJ, CM to name a few who can normally send ASY packing haven't been around lately.

ASY had a good run in Bali, but it's an artificial circumstance that won't last forever.

Never said she's invincible. Nobody is. But she definitely has cemented her position as one of the contenders and will make it difficult for others.

The INA pair better hope that Huang Kai Xiang/Liu Cheng or Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han can beat the Japanese in R32 and R16 of the World Championships.

minions lost on the 1st round in the last WC. Any pair can beat minions in WC, they always found a way to lose before SF in the big event
I hope they'll make it through at least till SF this time & earn themselves any color of WC medals.

But I think they're progressing well since after the olympic, especially in Bali tourneys.
They managed to find a way playing in a slow hall, and don't get frustrated easily.
but credit to koba/hoki, the better pair on court today
 
Thailand XD new WorldRank1. Danggg. I miss CHN pair now.

Pairs that have always been stopped by CHN having a run but getting WR1 that way.... lol

I reckon its difficult to beat LeeWang and HokiKoba in the same tournament. Had the draw been switched, i d think its different story but well everyone deserves success at their time.

and also its like that.. the draw in WC, so whatever. What happens will happens. As long as Minions has done their best, i'm glad.
 
It’s a shame we won’t see Sindhu against an se young at WC next week unless they both make the finals. But Sindhu should do a bit better at the tour level for her caliber. She just sleeps through the year except for one or two events.

Yeah she will get another medal, but i dont know where she ranks in the world of WS overall. All those OG and WC medals, I wonder if she is above Okuhara and Intanon in terms of achivements? But i definitely dont rate her over consistent ones like TTY, Marin and CYF. These players arent just OG gold but they are super consistent.

Why is Ginting and J. Christie ranked so low? Ginting is ranked #42 in the world, what?

Is it because Ginting is injured? Is it also because J. Christie didn't play many tournaments this year?

The BWF world tour finals is so weird this year, with a lot of top players not in it (IMO, I don't really think the 8 MS players in this BWF world tour finals are really the best 8 MS players in the world).
 
KV

Best year for lower ranking players to make some money. May not win championship but could get some price money to without much effort.
 
KV does have good control but he is just waiting for VA to make a mistake or counter attack.... not working.
 
LZJ should learn from this. Recall the current second Thai men*s single used to give LZJ hard time, now hardly. There are some weakness in KV that can be exploited.
 
Congratz to Viktor! Let's see if he can win the WC next!

Despite the weaker 8 MS players in this World Tour Finals, Viktor is still the best in the world, especially with his win over Momota a few weeks ago. If Viktor can maintain this form, he is the person to beat heading into the WC.

I actually have Viktor as the favorite winning the WC, over Momota. Who would have ever thought Viktor would be a favorite to win the WC in the era of Momota. Having said that, if Momota is healthy, I put Momota as 2nd favorite to win the WC, but that depends on Momota's health.
