the GP circuit will now take a 3 weeks break, and then we will be greeted with another triplets of large (no, huge!) tourneys: 6* HK Open, 4* Taipei Open, and then 6* China Open, back to back! it will be a very exciting 3 weeks, i am really looking forward to it. i think i will experience tournament withdrawl, 3 weeks? but i hope the players will get their well deserved rest as they have been playing almost non-stop since the Singapore Open.
Yeah.. the players need to have some rest...but some are already in their trainning sessions in preparation for those tournaments. I hope we can hear new champions or unexpected winners in those tourneys..
Since the 4 * Taiwan Open is stuck in a small span between the larger 6* HK and China Opens, will there be a lack of big names at it? Is China skipping it again this year. 4* tourney will still garner significant amount of points so some players could take advantage of that lack of big guns.
