The pair of Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, also known as the “Minions,” have been particularly dominant this year. They have emerged victorious in all four finals they have contested against their rivals, the “Daddies.” Their impressive wins include the Indonesia Masters, Indonesia Open, Japan Open, and VICTOR China Open 2019.
Despite not defeating their countrymen since February 2018, Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan have had a successful season. They have reached seven finals in 2019, more than any other pair, securing their top spot in the rankings. Their World Championships victory in Basel has already guaranteed their qualification for the Guangzhou finals.
The Minions, on the other hand, haven’t had the same level of dominance as last year. Nevertheless, they remain a formidable team heading into the season-ending HSBC BWF World Tour Finals. Their focus is on each tournament they enter, knowing there is still much to achieve.

Other contenders, like Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto from Indonesia, have also proven themselves with victories against the Minions and other top pairs. Defending champions Li Jun Hui and Liu Yu Chen from China, on the other hand, have had a relatively quiet year with only one title.
Chinese Taipei’s Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin have made the most of early-season opportunities, accumulating substantial points to secure their spot in the top four. However, as pressure mounts in the final few weeks, it remains to be seen if they can maintain their position.
