It’s safe to say it has been Indonesia’s year with three pairs in the Top 8 and nine World Tour titles between them in 2019.
The Daddies and Minions have met in four finals in 2019 with Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo prevailing in all - the Indonesia Masters, Indonesia Open, Japan Open and VICTOR China Open 2019 in Changzhou.
Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan have not defeated their countrymen since February 2018, but when they have been able to avoid them, they have largely tasted success. Their seven finals in 2019 is a season-high and have them atop the rankings.
