India’s talented badminton player, Pusarla Venkata Sindhu, has secured her spot in the highly anticipated season-ending Dubai World Superseries Finals for the first time. Another debutant in Dubai, Chen Qingchen from China, will also be competing for two titles in the showdown at Hamdan Sports Complex. Additionally, the remarkable comeback of Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen from Denmark has earned them a spot in Dubai, where they will face first-time finalists Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda from Japan and Goh V Shem/Tan Wee Kiong from Malaysia.
These compelling storylines unfolded as badminton’s elite battled it out for qualification in the prestigious tournament, featuring the top eight singles players and doubles pairs from this year’s MetLife BWF World Superseries tour. While the Rio 2016 Olympic Games champions were guaranteed wild-card invitations, other players faced a nerve-wracking wait until the last qualifying event, the YONEX-SUNRISE Hong Kong Open, to secure their places in the lucrative event.

Jan Jorgensen and Viktor Axelsen will now represent Denmark at the Dubai World Superseries Finals.
Men’s Doubles

Japan’s Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi, the Olympic champions in Women’s Doubles, lead the field, with Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl from Denmark finishing strongly, securing their second Superseries title of 2016 in Hong Kong.
