1. Chen Yu Fei (China)
It was a near-perfect season for the Chinese. She finished with six titles, winning all her finals. At the start of the year she won the prestigious All England, beating Tai Tzu Ying – her first victory over her nemesis in 12 matches until then. She went on to capture titles in Switzerland, Australia, Thailand, China and Hong Kong. Quite impressively, in her 15 tournaments, her ‘lowest’ performance was a quarterfinal, in Korea. At all other events, she reached at least the semifinals. Consistency personified.
