Eleven months into the HSBC BWF World Tour, the qualifiers to the season finale – the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2018 – have been identified. The HSBC Race To Guangzhou Rankings listed in sequence the top performers based on their cumulative points from all the Tour events they played in. The top eight qualifiers will face off in Guangzhou from 12 to 16 December.
1. Chou Tien Chen (Chinese Taipei)
While he has always been a top-quality player with a potent attacking game, Chou (featured image) started to string things together this year, showing greater consistency in crunch situations. Started and ended the World Tour season with first round losses in Malaysia and Hong Kong respectively, but had some excellent results in between. Was in six finals, winning three – in Germany, Singapore and Korea.
