Not really. Compare it to WS; there's a lot more variety there to make it interesting. Mens singles is only now beginning the transformation that the women went through maybe 3 years ago.
But have you read OP's post? His MS preview is far more interesting than WS preview. So, that may be the actual case here.
CONFIRMATION : Japan's High School Champion IU Igarashi has knocked out Parupalli Kashyap of India. 21-11 18-21 21-14 in an hour and 5 minutes.
Kim HaNa springs a surprise in WD ... Suddenly I'm interested in her new partner Kong HeeYong. Anybody know of her?
what what winner of last week korea open WD HuangYaqiong/YuXiaohan crashed out in the qualification lol
yeah, but probably it is also because of their tight schedule to play on Sunday, travel on Monday, and play again on Tuesday. No proper practice at the hall as well This will surely cause a lot of unprime condition, especially after 5 weeks of nonstop badminton
The GOAT, Yonex's prized catch, and LCW, not playing yet, that's why. Also, I think, in the early rounds, the organizer wants to draw in the crowd to watch on site.
Huang Yaqiong/Yu Xiaohan were partners in their junior days and just re-formed their partnership, not consistent yet as they've to rebuild mutual understanding. Also they are playing their 5th back-to-back tournaments/events though not as a pair until last week's KOR Open. Still somewhat unbecoming to be knocked out in the qualies, nonetheless.
