Malaysia Masters 2016 - Entry List and DRAW

How Goh Jin Wei can improve her world ranking if she did not even participate in her own home ground 2-tier tournament?

For other countries 2-tier tournaments, usually the lower rank local players can participate in the qualification matches even if they are junior players.

Bro, thanks for your inputs but you don't really understand my point.

Goh Jin Wei's lower world ranking or even wild card is not the exact issues, look at recently concluded Indonesia Masters 2015, there are many Indonesian WS players who ranked lower compared to Goh Jin Wei, rank 139 (age 15) are playing in qualifying matches. The status/level for both tournament are the same.

Some examples:
Florencya VIONI, rank 244 (age 18)
Sri Fatmawati, rank 280 (age 16)
Made Deya Surya SARASWATI, rank 322 (age 17)
Erlina KURNIANTI, rank 349 (age 18)
Wulan Cahya Utami SUKOPUTRI, rank 357 (age 16)
Ayu Gary Luma MAHARANI, rank 686 (age 15)
Alya Rahma MULYANI, rank 987 (age 15)
Savira SANDRADEWI, rank 1000 (age 15)
Rena ASELA, rank 1000 (age 20)
Aldira Rizki PUTRI, rank 1000 (age 14) and many more......

In Indonesia Master and other Master tournaments (level 3), you can have a huge group of lower rank local players playing in qualification matches, some even rank beyond 1000 but for Malaysia Masters, a World Junior Champions who rank 139 in the world did not make the cut for qualification match, this should be the key issue.

There is a practical reason why Indonesia Master fails to attract higher-ranked players. Remember when it was held. Just after Hong Kong Open, the last Superseries of the year. While Malaysia Masters will be held in January, more than one month before the first Superseries of 2016, All England.

For Goh Jin Wei, to improve her World Ranking, she needs to win International Challenge event first, presumably two or three. When her world ranking was in top 100, she can play in the qualifying rounds of Grand Prix Gold. There are also some Grand Prix Gold events that do not attract higher-ranked players; mainly because it was held too near another Superseries events.

Another shortcut would be to play in team competition. When she beat higher-ranked players in team competition, such as Uber Cup or Sudirman Cup. She would gain a whole lot of ranking points. In fact, Lee Chong Wei first played in Sudirman Cup when he was back on court after serving 8-month suspension.
 
LCW should not participate in this tournament. Instead, he should rest more to ensure he is fully fit in major events like Olympic Games in Rio.
