Here we go, the competition will be culminated today, badminton giant China has secured 1 title through WS and may add more through three other categories. KOR suprisingly sealed XD title here while INA has two finals, WD and MD.
WS, Wang Yihan (CHN) v Li Xuerui (CHN)
Head-to-Head stats : 8-8
Looking at their h-2-h data, both players have equal opportunity to nail WS crown, however Li XR won over her taller compatriot in last three meetings including the most gruelling one in BAC last April. First final in this year for former World Champion in 2015 and third final for the Olympic Champion, both of them performed far behind their top form at first half of this year so who will grab first victory after pretty long time titleless?
WD, Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii (INA) v Luo Ying/Luo Yu (CHN)
H-2-H : 2-1
On paper it will offer close final contest, INA combo played brilliantly to dispose tough foe yesterday Matsutomo/Takahashi. One step closer for Maheswari/Polii to defend their title but as usual hard job to overcome Chinese pair. But if they implement better strategy as they did at last month INA Premier then the outcome will be the same.
XD, Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na (KOR) v Shin Baek Cheol/Chae Yoo Jung (KOR)
H-2-H : 0-0
This is the most unpredictable category, none who can guess it'll be all Korean affair at last round. Korean XD seems revive suddenly after failure at Sudirman Cup and we may see their progress in next tournaments. The more experienced Ko SH/Kim HN is favoured to clinch the title, they knocked out tournament favourite, the formidable duo, Zhang/Zhao at last eight.
MD, Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan (CHN) v Markus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo (INA)
H-2-H : 0-0
It's highest achievement so far for INA young combo, a breakthrough to eliminate elite pairs, Lee SM/Tsai CH and Ahsan/Setiawan en route to the final. The world #6 Fu/Zhang has high confidence after subdued hot favourite Lee YD/Yoo YS in last four and will be fourth time lucky for them in 2015 after failed in final of All England, SIN SS and INA SS Premier.
MS, Chen Long (CHN) v Chou Tien Chen (TPE)
H-2-H : 5-0
Last man standing for homeground fans, Chou TC who performed superbly to eliminate two top calibre players like Jorgensen and Lin Dan. And the final hurdle will be tough task for local hero, none but reigning world champion Chen Long. The world #1 had collected three titles this year, All England, MAS Premier and AUS SS, pretty solid and consistent trend despite he succumbed at early round in Singapore and quarterfinal at Jakarta last month. Will Chou TC score big win once again and capture MS title at homesoil this time?
