News | BWF World Tour Finals

With only nine ranking tournaments left in the HSBC Race To Guangzhou 2019, let’s take a closer look at the women’s singles contenders for the season-ending HSBC BWF World Tour Finals in December. The competition for the top 8 spots is intense, as the level of badminton being played in women’s singles is exceptionally high.

Currently, Ratchanok Intanon (THA), Chen Yu Fei (CHN), Akane Yamaguchi (JPN), Tai Tzu Ying (TPE), Nozomi Okuhara (JPN), He Bing Jiao (CHN), Sung Ji Hyun (KOR), and Busanan Ongbamrungphan (THA) hold the top 8 rankings in the HSBC Race To Guangzhou standings.

However, He Bing Jiao and Sung Ji Hyun’s positions are not secure, as there are six other players within 7,000 points of them who are ready to challenge their spots. Some of these players include Beiwen Zhang, Sayaka Takahashi, Fitriani Fitriani, Michelle Li, and Nitchaon Jindapol.

It’s worth noting that Michelle Li has been in good form in her recent tournaments, reaching the finals or semifinals in four out of her last six competitions. This strong performance could potentially impact the rankings and create more competition for the remaining spots.

Additionally, Carolina Marin, although not currently in contention, has recently made a comeback after a seven-month absence. Her return at the China Open showcased her strength and skill, making her a formidable opponent for anyone looking to secure a spot in the top 8.
