Vladimir Ivanov/ Ivan Sozonov (Russia) were in top 10 last week on the BWF men’s doubles world ranking list. This week they are no. 11, however the Russian duo has bigger goals. Vladimir Ivanov talked about it with Badminton Europe,
-Being in top 10 in the world is not new for us, we want to improve our game and ranking further. I hope we will manage to get into the top 5 next year.
In his words, before the world championships they are going to play Russian Open (BWF Super 100) which will be held next week in Vladivostok and will have a training camp.
