Strong march from india.. H.S.Prannoy , Sai Praneeth, Arvind bhat and Anand Pawar are some of the notable names..

P.C.Thulasi is the favourite in the women's singles.. Let's see how it goes for her..

This is the best chance for Akshay/pranav to get back to their form so that they have an easier draw in CWG...same goes for other Indians....Lucas corvee is in great form he will surely prove to be a thorn to other players in MS....WS is more one sided as India dominates it..top seed Jamie can be easily defeated by the Indian ladies....I wish we witness pc thulasi/tanvi v/s arundhati ......

I think arunthathi withdrawn... still we have many chances... I am still wondering why gopichand not sending rituparna to any events outside India.... she needs to get more exposure.... NANDAGOPAL, a hidden talent in Indian badminton.... looking forward for his matches...

Young rohit yadav lost to a Malaysian player...

Young 19 year old Sameer verma won his match against recent Thomas cup malaysian team player Soon Huat Goh.

No wonder. Even when sameer was 17 or 18 years old, he won Wei Feng chong, that too in malaysia itself..

I think Liang Xiaoyu is favourit of WS.

I just saw Chia Hsin Lee who beat Akane Yamaguchi in WJC 2014 mixed team event.

Of course yes.... Either she or that Taipei girl will win the title

Oh no. Jacqueline kunath rose of india lost to top seed with very tight rubber set. 22-20.

 

[Akin44]

Nandagopal/Hema Nagendra lost to a Taipei pair.... I expected much from them

 

[Akin44]

Nandagopal/Maneesha won a three tight setter against a Thai pair...

 

[Akin44]

Singapore have two good women's singles player in this tourney...

 

[Penwinack]

Kilasu Ostemeyer is talented double plyer , she is 17 yearsold.
I remember her and her partner after they beat Jwala Gutta/Ashwini Ponnappa in India open GPG this year.

 

[Penwinack]

I think Danny Bawa/Chayut is favourite MD this here.

 

[Akin44]

I think Danny Bawa/Chayut is favourite MD this here.

Hmmm yeah... mostly.... but watch out for pranav/akshay too...

 

[Akin44]

Top seed USA pair will be up against Nandagopal/Maneesha.... will be an interesting clash... wat to do... can't watch arun vishnu/alwin Francis pair is also a title contender in MD....
