Not many changes in the rankings this week, so let's look at a bit of history. The Japanese WD pairs currently hold the 1, 2, 3 and 8 spots. Very impressive, but still quite a bit of way from the Chinese WS back in August 2010, where they held spots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 😮

If the matches in Bali feel quite long to you, you are not wrong. Compared to the 3 recent Super500+ tournaments in Europe the avg match is significantly longer, and with 2 days to go of this week's tournament we have already had 34(!) matches longer than 1 hour.

Depends a bit how you count it. If you only count BWF/IBF-sanctioned tournaments he did actually miss out on 2011 (he "only" got to the Southeast Asian Games final), so he would tie Lin Dan for most calendar years with a final.
