On the whole a bad draw for the MS and WS as far as the spread is concerned. So many good matchups slated in the early rounds. by the QFs, the two halves unbalanced or somewhat skewed. For example, in WS, we've Marin, Yui Hashimoto, WSX,Sun Yu, LXR, Lindaweni,Prontip, Sung JH, Akane, Zhang Beiwen, all in the top half. In MS, Chen Long, Tian HW, Lin Dan, Son WH, Boonsak, Kento M, Wei Nan, Tommy S, Wang ZM, Hu Yun, Marc Zwiebler, all in the same half.
Kevin/Gideon is getting difficult draw. I hope they can forget their Taipei final match. They can beat the top pairs but they played awful at other times
First quarter of MS draw is really heavyweight with Chen Long, Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan there, too bad they will cross sword too early. At bottom half, second seed Jorgensen is drawn with his two compatriots Axelsen, Vittinghus along with Srikanth and Chou TC. Carolina Marin is slated to redeem her INA Premier shocking defeat to Yui Hashimoto, another interesting first round clashes, Boe/Mogensen v Liu XL/Qiu ZH, Ma J/Tang YT v Go AR/Yoo HW, Zhang N/Zhao YL v Reginald Lee CH/Chau HW.
