Dunno wat happen to Srikanth , fought so hard with two malaysian young players, Tan Kian Meng and Iskandar Zulkarnain ,expect a hard fight from CWF
 
Manu Attri & Partners, has made 2 more upsets yesterday, in MX & MD categories,

Manu Attri & Sumeeth Reddy (5th seed) vs Mads Duo (2) --- 21-18 4-21 24-22

Manu Attri & K.Maneesha vs Aik Quan Tan & Meng Yean Lee [7] -- 23-21 10-21 21-10

In MD the 2nd game result 4-21 is quite strange.. What might have happened there.. ?
 
Today, K.Srikanth will face the in form H.S.Prannoy, and I suspect, it will be a tough match for Kidambi.

Also PV.Sindhu will face Carolina Marin as a repeat of the WC semifinal.

Does anybody else think it's a little suspicious that 4 of the best pairs on paper in MD are drawn against each other in the first round? :confused:

MAS Khim Wah Lim
MAS Yao Han Ow
v
RUS Vladimir Ivanov [4]
RUS Ivan Sozonov


ENG Andrew Ellis
ENG Peter Mills
v
DEN Mads Conrad-Petersen [2]
DEN Mads Pieler Kolding



...considering that the rest of the draw is made up predominantly by Indian nobodies. (on the world stage)

Use of the word 'suspicious' is very unfair. It is a common knowledge that all international tournaments are administered by technical officials appointed by BWF. Tournament Referee and Umpires are appointed by BWF and they conduct tournament as per the rules set by BWF.

In the MD draw of 32 there are six seeded players and as per the norms they only get advantage of not meeting each other in the initial rounds of tournament.

It is also a very normal thing that some players get favorable or easy draw as compared to others.

As the term 'Draw' suggests, it is always a 'lucky draw' and there is nothing to suspect. At the most you can say that draw was not lucky to your favorite players.
