In China, Zheng and Huang once again showcased their dominance by winning the Super 1000 event, adding to their already impressive list of titles. With six victories out of seven finals, they have proven to be almost unstoppable. However, the duo from Thailand, Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai, have managed to challenge Zheng and Huang. They clinched the title at the Singapore Open and Korea Open, becoming the only pair to defeat the world champions twice this year. This victory has been a significant milestone for the Thai team, as they also became the first from their country to win the Korea Open in any category.

The current leaders in the standings, Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying, have shown consistency and effort throughout the season. With two titles and five semifinal appearances, they have earned their spot in the top eight. As the DANISA Denmark Open 2019 and YONEX French Open 2019 approach, they will be aiming to solidify their position.

In seventh place, Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino are on the verge of qualification for the finals. However, Higashino’s injury has affected their performance, with only one title to their name – the Malaysia Masters in January. Just outside the top eight, there are two pairs from Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith, who were contenders in Guangzhou last year.
