Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning’s ascent to the top has been swift and belies their youthful age. They have taken on the mantle of the great Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan combo as China's best pair, and will be looking for their first season-ending title.
This year saw them set a hot six-month streak when they won six titles from seven finals, capturing the World Championships and the Asian crown. They will be the pair to beat on home turf in Hangzhou.
The top Chinese pair apart, the competition is quite even among the other pairs. Pearly Tan/Thinaah Muralitharan have had a brilliant season, winning three titles from seven finals. If they do go all the way in Hangzhou, they will become the first Malaysian pair to title at the World Tour Finals.
