JAKARTA - Indonesia has passed five of its representatives to the 2020 BWF World Tour Finals which will still be held at Impact Arena, Bangkok, January 27-31.
Reported by Antara from the official BWF website, Monday, January 25, of the five representatives who are in the top eight of the 2020 Race to BWF World Tour Finals ranking, two of them come from the mixed doubles sector.
The two couples are Praveen Jordan / Melati Daeva Oktavianti and Hafiz Faizal / Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja.
Praveen / Melati confirmed themselves to appear in the BWF World Tour Finals as the fifth ranked pair with 32,460 points. Meanwhile, Hafiz / Gloria is in seventh place with 30,790 points.
Meanwhile, from the men's singles sector, Indonesia only passed one representative, namely Anthony Sinisuka Ginting. If you look at the ranking position, Anthony is actually in ninth place.
However, based on BWF rules, each country may only send the top two representatives in each sector that occupy the top eight of the Race to BWF World Tour Finals.
Meanwhile, Denmark has three players, namely Viktor Axelsen, Anders Antonsen and Rasmus Gemke who are in the top eight. Thus Gemke who is ranked fourth is not entitled to appear in the tournament which is usually held at the end of the year.
From the men's doubles sector there is only Mohammad Ahsan / Hendra Setiawan. The couple nicknamed The Daddies occupy the third place with 35,820 points. They are under the Taiwanese pair Lee Yang / Wang Chi-Lin and Aaron Chia / Soh Wooyik (Malaysia).
In the women's doubles sector, Indonesia only has one representative, namely Greysia Polii / Apriyani Rahayu who is in first place with 46,020 points.
The calculation of qualification points is the accumulation of results from the BWF World Tour tournament that will be held throughout 2020. There are nine championships that are included in the qualifying round, including Malaysia Masters 2020, Indonesia Masters 2020, Thailand Masters 2020, Barcelona Spain Masters 2020, and All England 2020.
Players or pairs who do not participate in the Yonex Thailand Open and Toyota Thailand Open 2021 will certainly not be able to take part in the 2020 BWF World Tour Finals.
