Sindhu has got Sung Ji Hyun as her first round opponent again.. But if she clears this hurdle, most probably she will meet Li Xuerui in the quaterfinals. I am looking forward to this encounter.
Interesting MS draw position 13-16, winner of WZM vs Darren Liew will meet winner of LDK vs Tommy, a mini knock-off competition featuring the fore-running young players from the 4 traditional Asian badminton powerhouse nations. guess who will be the winner.
Really, only Lee Dong Keun qualifies as "young". The rest if the guys are moving towards ancient status .....
Beside Lin Dan, some top names also withdrew according to ts com updated : Sony Dwi Kuncoro (INA), Simon Santoso (INA), Ratchanok Inthanon (THA), Liu Xiaolong/Qiu Zihan (CHN), Kim Ki Jung/Kim Sa Rang (KOR), Wang Xiaoli/Yu Yang (CHN), Xu Chen/Ma Jin (CHN), etc.
disappointed! thought will at least have xu chen and ma jin, ratchanok inthanon... well, it's back to looking for games to play this week...
I was like shocked after having seen the draw with K.srikanth's name missing in the qualifiers.. Later came to know that he was given a direct entry to the main draw and is going to play TMN of Hongkong.. Will he be able to do his magic again... Will he be able to catch his first ever superseries title in Singapore..?? Only time will tell.. I am more excited to watch...
The top half of MS draw is quite tight I think. Du Pengyu, Marc Zwiebler, Kenichi Tago, Nguyen Tien Minh, Wang Zhengming, Daren Liew, and Tommy Sugiarto are in the top half. Meanwhile in the bottom half I think Boonsak Ponsana will make his way to the final and umm… I have feeling that he will be up against Wang Zhengming again in the final like the last year edition.
