China domination again?
Although CHN appears in all 5 events in the finals today, she has secured only the WS title. CHN has to prove she can win all to become dominant champions again.
Will the rest be able to stop CHN, especially KOR who is appearing in 2 events?
What is your take?
From H2H records, China should take MS, WS, WD and XD while Korea MD.
Last year Denmark open, China had 4 representations in the final, and they got 4 titles. This year, they have 6 in the final, looks better than last year, but hard to predict.
I remember when I watched the FHF/ZN vs Ko/Shin, they were introduced as
2014 win-loss Fu/Zhang 21-5
2014 win-loss Ko/Shin 15-9
Just look at the records, Fu/Zhang are much better than Ko/Shin, but Ko/Shin are ranked #8 in the world and Fu/Zhang #23. How come?
The reason is the ranking system. The ranking system giving points not on how many matches you won, but depends on how many matches you lose. Sounds weird, right? but it's true!
Ko/Shin lost more, which means they participated more tournaments, therefore own more points. Even lost in the 1st round at Indonesia open (win-loss 0:1), they were granted 2660 points too.
While Fu/Zhang lost only 5, which means they participated less tournaments, therefore 0 points for no participating.
