    Our favorite players flew from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to New Delhi, India for a new Super 750 event, 2023 India Open.

    Will we see a repeat of WR1 as the champions like in Malaysia Open?

    wow, I hope India Open will be a new page for Momota.

    I pray God for everything on his road will be peaceful.

    It was a treat to see my Queens PV and Carol practise with each other...Its super contrary to how they are on court cause Off it they both laugh a lot :D

    Also Momota is in DEL so is LZJ and others.

    Sadly I will be flying to Thailand in a couple of days so I wont be able to watch the Finals live but Im glad to be watching first 2 days and will try to follow the India Open on TV when In Thailand.

    Best of luck guys to all of your favs.

    I personally will watch only the MS and cheer for SYQ cause in WS I feel my queens have already had their golden days and its time for ASY,AY,CYF,HBJ and other younger girls...Just hope Shi wins an Olympic medal before I see him fade off.

    I feel sorry for you and other fans mate..I am on the Family Pass so I could get in even yesterday I was here but I do know that the organizers are giving Free entry to fans but perhaps they arent allowing anyone in as of yet.

    Are you on GATE 1 ?

    I would have given you the pass if I could as Im leaving for thailand tomorrow evening but I assure you there is FREE ENTRY TICKETS for Fans.

    Momota lost G1 against Gemke. So is Gemke the only one who can make Viktor run for his money? :D

    Fans are really cheering for Momota ...I mean he must get the boost and confidence hes looking for and even if he doesnt win this one thing he shall take from India Open is that people love him and still remember him as a champ and he must never give up !

    Hes much loved in India and I like the Indian crowd that came in large numbers to support not just Indian players but all Good players.

    Momota lost in straight games. Gemke was too good. Come back stronger in next tournament, Momota.

    This whole “come back stronger” is way overdone for Kento. Truly such a disappointment for all the fans who were supporting him today.

    What the hell that Momota will meet Gemke again in Indonesia Master ?

    I just thought that I made a mistake when choosing the tournament but not, there is no mistake.

    Howwwwww can the draw repeat amongs players

    Despite losing Fans loved seeing him and I hope he takes this love and support for him back and uses it to better his training and really "Coming Back Stronger" I saw hugr crowds at the gate today and many youngsters have come to see not just momota but also Akane,Chen,Fajar and many more.

    Im glad Indian crowd is diverse and neutral and is supporting and cheering for all players irrespective of nationality.

    Its almost exactly like HSP vs Lkashya has been written by destiny of BWF to meet each other at first round too...I do hope LS pulls it off against HSP today.

    seriously, why he couldn't even return those smashes, i don't think it's very unpredictable and strong. sigh, just sad to see him in such condition.
