JAKARTA - After the Thailand Open 2022 tournament, the ranking composition of the world's badminton players is likely to continue to change. However, for Indonesia, the men's doubles number can still be sure to send three names that are included in the top ten ranks.

Based on the latest list released by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) on May 17, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya in first place in this number is still occupied with a total of 11,827 points.

Under Marcus / Kevin, there is a senior men's doubles name, namely Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan. However, the second position belonging to The Daddies is predicted to be shifted by representatives of Japan, Takuro Hoki/Yugo Kobayashi. This can be seen from the indicators that indicate Takuro/Yugo will rise to the second position.

Currently, Takuro/Yugo collects 101,750 points, which is still smaller than Ahsan/Hendra's with 104.195 points. However, with their status as champions at the Thailand Open 2022 this week, it is possible that in the BWF update, Takuro/Yugo's position will rise to second place.

Takuro/Yugo's title at the 2022 Thailand Open was locked after they defeated Indonesian representatives Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto in the final, Sunday, May 22.

In the meeting that took place at the Impact Arena, Bangkok, Thailand, Fajar / Rian decided to finish the match prematurely when the score showed 4-13. This condition occurred after Fajar decided to retire after the first game interval due to a severe injury to his waist.

Despite closing the final match with a defeat, Fajar/Rian are still in the top 10 men's doubles rankings released by BWF. In the last release, Fajar/Rian was in the seventh position with a collection of 80,305 points.

Please note, that the BWF World Tour Finals Ranking only takes into account the points earned by players during 26 tournaments. So, the BWF World rankings (world rankings) and the BWF World Tour Finals rankings (BWF world tour rankings) are certainly two different things.

This is because only players in the top eight positions can take part in the final tournament known as the BWF World Tour Finals.

In 2021 yesterday, the World Tour Finals were held in Bali, Indonesia, for 2022 it will take place again in Guangzhou China which is planned to be held in December.
