An overview of the season’s performances of the top eight women’s singles play
ers who qualified to the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2019.
以下是獲得年終賽資格的八位女單本季表現概述：
1.Chen Yu Fei (China)
It was a near-perfect season for the Chinese. She finished with six titles, winn
ing all her finals. At the start of the year she won the prestigious All England
, beating Tai Tzu Ying – her first victory over her nemesis in 12 matches until
then. She went on to capture titles in Switzerland, Australia, Thailand, China
and Hong Kong. Quite impressively, in her 15 tournaments, her ‘lowest’ perform
ance was a quarterfinal, in Korea. At all other events, she reached at least the
semifinals. Consistency personified.
陳雨菲
對這位中國女單來說，本季表現近乎完美。她在本季獲得六個冠軍頭銜，並在所有決賽階段
中取得勝利。在本賽季初她擊敗戴資穎獲得了聲望斐然的全英冠軍，這是她對陣這位剋星連
敗12次後所獲得的首勝。接下來她持續贏得瑞士、澳洲、泰國、中國福州與香港公開賽冠軍
。令人驚艷的是，在她參加的15場比賽中，最差的成績是韓國公開賽八強。在其他站的公開
賽，她至少都能達到四強的成績。簡直是穩定性的化身。（譯注：像一台機器？）
2.Ratchanok Intanon (Thailand)
The Thai had a year that was typical of her – a few peaks with no substantial l
ows, but not really different from past seasons. She might rue the four finals s
he lost – in Germany, Thailand, Korea and Hong Kong, as also the World Champion
ships semifinals in which she had her chances before being outlasted by Nozomi O
kuhara. But victories at the Malaysia Masters and the India Open did give her so
mething to cherish.
因達農
今年是因達農典型的一年：在幾個時期達到高峰、但沒有真正的低谷，跟過去幾個賽季沒有
什麼區別。她也許對輸掉的四個決賽（德國、泰國、韓國、香港）感到遺憾，就如同她在世
錦四強遇到耐力比較長的奧原之前，也有一點點機會。不過大馬大師賽、印度公開賽的勝利
，給了她一些值得珍視的成績。
3.Akane Yamaguchi (Japan)
At one point it seemed Yamaguchi was going to be the star of the year. Two wins
in two weeks – Indonesia and Japan – were significant, but then she fell to fo
ur straight first round losses due to a hip problem sustained just before the Wo
rld Championships. Yamaguchi didn’t take a break and continued to soldier on. S
he made progress at the end of the year, with semifinals at the French Open, Hon
g Kong Open and Korea Masters.
山口茜
在本賽季的某個時間點，山口茜幾乎將要成為本季之星。她在短短兩個禮拜取得印尼、日本
賽雙冠，實是成就非凡。不過在世錦賽之前，她遭遇臀部的傷病而導致四站一輪遊。但山口
茜並未休息，而是馬不停蹄繼續參賽。在年終前她獲得一點進展，在法國、香港、韓國都打
到四強。
4.Nozomi Okuhara (Japan)
Okuhara made as many as six finals, but each time she finished second-best. The
most bitter of those finals was at the World Championships, when she was demolis
hed 21-7 21-7 by familiar rival Pusarla V Sindhu. The Japanese, though, can take
solace in her consistency, as also her recovery from fitness issues that had tr
oubled her in the past. Always the dogged fighter, Okuhara will hope to peak aga
in in Guangzhou – she had finished runner-up at the last edition.
奧原希望
奧原在本賽季闖進了六個決賽，奈何每次都拿到亞軍。其中最令人刺心的是在世錦決賽被宿
敵辛度大比分擊潰。不過這位日本女單的穩定性令人彌足安慰，而且她也從過去困擾的健康
問題康復過來。身為一個頑強的鬥士，奧原希望在廣州再次取得頂峰的成就，畢竟去年年終
賽拿到的也是亞軍。
5.Tai Tzu Ying (Chinese Taipei)
After two sparkling seasons in 2017 and 2018, it was a rather uneven year for th
e Chinese Taipei star. She was her best in patches – winning back-to-back title
s in Malaysia and Singapore, for instance, but then wavering mid-season before c
apturing her next title in October in Denmark. Fitness worries appeared to dog h
er throughout, and she wasn’t quite in command as she was previously.
戴資穎
在經歷了閃耀奪目的17、18年兩個賽季後，今年這位羽球明星的成績相當參差不齊。比如說
她能在大馬、新加坡背靠背奪冠，但也能在賽季中段表現地搖搖欲墜，直到10月丹麥公開賽
才再次奪冠。健康方面的問題似乎一直困擾著她，讓她不像以往能夠掌控一切。
6.He Bing Jiao (China)
Broke a long title drought of three years by winning the Korea Open. The other h
ighlights were a semifinal at the Indonesia Masters and runner-up places at the
India Open and the Badminton Asia Championships. Those performances apart, He Bi
ng Jiao didn’t have much to write home about.
何冰嬌
何冰嬌終於贏得韓國公開賽，打破了近三年的冠軍荒。她在本季的其他亮點，大概是印尼大
師進入四強，還有在印度、亞錦賽拿到亞軍。除了這些表現之外，她本季的成績實在乏善可
陳。
7.Busanan Ongbamrungphan (Thailand)
Made it to the top eight at the last qualifying tournament, the Gwangju Korea Ma
sters. Ongbamrungphan had a bright start to the year, with a final at the Thaila
nd Masters. While she didn’t have any spectacular performances through the seas
on, she was fairly consistent – reaching seven quarterfinals, mostly at top-tie
r events. Having qualified to her first season finale, Ongbamrungphan will sense
her chance at coming out of the shadows of her more accomplished peers.
布桑南
布桑南在光州大師賽取得了符合年終前八名的資格。她在季初有一個美好的開端，就是在泰
國大師賽走到決賽階段。不過之後整個賽季都沒有特出的表現了。但她的優勢是穩定性相當
夠，至少有七站比賽能夠打入八強，而且這些大部分都是頂級賽事。這是布桑南首次有資格
參加年終賽，也許可以藉此機會擺脫其他更有成就的女單的陰影。
8.Pusarla V Sindhu (India)
It was a memorable year for the Indian, even though, in terms of number of tourn
ament wins, she had a sole triumph. Still, it was the one that had eluded her in
two previous finals – the World Championships. Following that memorable victor
y in Basel, Pusarla’s had a forgettable time, with her best being a quarterfina
l at the French Open. As defending champion in Guangzhou, there is plenty at sta
ke for the Indian.
辛度
對這位印度女單來說，今年是值得紀念的一年。儘管從賽事得勝的次數來說，她只取得了唯
一一次勝利。這是她前兩次決賽都無法實現的成就，即是世錦賽冠軍。在瑞士巴塞爾取得令
人難忘的成就之後，她和公開賽最佳成績—法國賽八強，共度了一段平淡無奇的時光。（譯
注：無言以對。）做為年終賽冠軍的衛冕者，這位印度女單的年終賽之路吉凶未卜。
