BWF News: The Exciting World Superseries Finals in Dubai

The BWF Destination Dubai World Superseries Finals is set to be an explosive battle from the very beginning. The opening morning’s action includes an all-Korean clash featuring the Men’s Doubles finalists of the BWF World Championships, as Lee Yong Dae and Yoo Yeon Seong go head-to-head with their team-mates Ko Sung Hyun and Shin Baek Choel, who ousted them in the gripping Copenhagen showdown in August.

The draw ceremony unfolded this morning, revealing many exciting scenarios for the season-ending finale.

Drama awaits in Group A of Men’s Singles with World champion Chen Long of China surrounded by Son Wan Ho of Korea, Japan’s Kenichi Tago, and Denmark’s Hans-Kristian Vittinghus, all capable of causing major mayhem at their best. Tago brought some humor to the situation, stating candidly: “I would prefer to be in Group B!”
