3 Talking Points from World Tour Finals 2019


1. The Daddies' Supremacy

Ahsan & Setiawan from Indonesia becomes the first Men's Double pair to claim 3 major titles in a single year - All England, World Champions and the Grand Slam Finals title here! Age is certainly NOT a factor for the two daddies who outmaneuvered the Japanese fierceful pair of Endo & Watanabe in 2 straight games during the final just show that their vast experience mattered most when comes to major event final.


2. A dream Men's Single Final


The most anticipated finals of all events! Despite battling for nearly 1.5 hours, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting just not good enough to stop the current World Number 1, Kento Momota to captured her FIRST ever World tour final crowd.

Ginting who is arguably the fastest Men Single players on the planet, using his speed and power to beat the Japanese ace in first game, however the remaining games belong to Momoto as he once again prove by using his great skills and tactical awareness to overcome a very strong challenge from a faster opponent on court..


3. A New Queen?


Chen Yu Fei, who won the titles disposing the World Number 1, Tai Tzu Ying out of her position despite having a bad Head to Head records 1-14 over the Chinese Taipei sensation.

This is the 7th titles for Chen in 2019, the interesting fact about this Chinese 21 years old is she never lost in any finals this year!
