BWF Ranking Prediction 

Kilde: @BadmintonEropa, Twitter. 25.11.2023

The 18th week of the BWF unfreezing system! We’re so close to be back into the ‘old format’ of Badminton World Ranking Please refer to the tweet below to see our assumptions in predicting the points  

If my prediction is accurate, then:

Vitidsarn replace Antonsen as the seeded player

Bass/Popor replace Zheng/Huang as the first seed

This is interesting  

MS

New career-high ranking for the next WR8, Kunlavut Vitidsarn (THA)! Different feeling for Kevin Cordon (GUA), Shi Yu Qi (CHN), and Anders Antonsen (DEN) who’ll lose significant Olympic points…

“The skyrocketed Kodai Naraoka will be new Japan #1 MS player soon, noteworthy successor to replace lacklustre Momota” @CLELYLY

WS

Natsuki Nidaira (JPN) will enter the Top 50 which will make JPN has SEVEN PLAYERS in the Top 50 Not a good week for Blichfeldt (DEN), Yigit (TUR), and Kosetskaya (RUS) after losing their Olympic points…

MD

New career-high ranking for Goh SF/Izzuddin (MAS) and Kang MH/Seo SJ (KOR)! Astrup/Rasmussen (DEN) will also back to their current career-high ranking at 5th place

WD

INA will officially have the new WD1 i.e. Rahayu/Ramadhanti! They’ll have new career-high ranking at #14, also Zhang/Zheng (CHN/7), Du/Li (CHN/11), Aimsaard/Aimsaard (THA/13), Baek/Lee (KOR/16), and Jolly/Pullela (IND/19)

XD

Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai (THA) will be back to the top of the world and switch the position with Zheng/Huang (CHN). Chan/Goh (MAS) will have a significant drop and already under Chan/Cheah (MAS)…
