Akane, Zheng/Huang, HokBay, Fajri, Chen/Jia, were World No.1 in last 10 months. No design or video!!!
Well,

Fajri WIN, No.1 save until World Championship week.
Fajri Runner-up,

-- Face each other in SF, Satchi must win their match and WIN Japan Open to No.1
Out of my specialty, but I thought No.1 Men's Doubles can changeover after Japan Open.
Note: Liang/Wang must defend 11000 next week, so it's not possible for them to pass 90K after Japan.
Longest consecutive weeks at World No.1, MS post '09:
