the men single draw has been done. The result is.. Group A : LCW, peter gade, simon santoso, sho sasaki Group B : Lin dan, Chen Long, TH, kenichi tago any thought?? hehe. I think the chance for Simon to go to SF quite open.. otherwise, in the Group B CL and LD likely through to the SF easily..hmm.

Not much comment on the draw but I hope BWF is thinking clearly, put the matches that involve the same countries on the FIRST DAY of the competition. So Chen Long vs Lin Dan, CX/MJ vs ZN/ZYL, CY/FHF vs GZD/CB and the WD Japanese matches on Wednesday.
