A bit of comments on the draws..
. But i'm sure with a boat load of JPN players, ie. Kanako Yonekura and her compatriots, the place will def. fill up..
Hmm, also looks like this yr's draw will be a make-up event for some of last yr's players who were supposed to come and compete, but cancelled last minute. Namely Minarti Timur and the 2 INA's playing for Philippines.
Interesting to see Tony and Halim not playing together and defend their MD title. Perhaps they are giving ways to Howard and Bob for a possible clash/rematch of their WC match with Ohtsuka and Masuda in the Final..
XD looks interesting, as the up-and-coming young KOR pair is the top seed.
*Good to see lots of local players competing as well. And yes, our master Viper2005 is finally back. Ready to rock and roll in 2 events..
**Hope I still have the energy/not tired/not too jetlagged after my trip back next week to take some pics and record the matches for your video enjoyment..
..just saw the draws a few minutes ago...Not eye-opening but definitely quite interesting..Yes, there is definitely a significant presence of the JPN players. Imagine if the Shiota & Ogura combo were to come and participate, the place will fill up even moreThe MS is still quite interesting with a few international players like Lee Tsuen Tseng, Shoji Sato, and Nguyen Tien-Minh. I will be supporting Tien-Minh!
In the MD, the just-crowned WC bronze-medallist Shuichi Sakamoto/Shintaro Ikeda is the top-seed and will be all out for a title here. Their counterpart, Tadashi Ohtsuka/Keita Masuda is the second seed. Interestingly, some MAS juniors like Lim Khim Wah/Mak Hee Chun and Lim Fang Yang/Mohd Abdul Latif (Arif Latif??) are also participating
In the XD, the top seed Han Sang Hoon/Hwang Yu Mi faces a tricky match against Tony Gunawan/Minarti Timur as early as the second round. Other strong pairs include the second-seed Keita Masuda/Miyuki Maeda, Tadashi Ohtsuka/Satoko Suetsuna, the Asuncion siblings, and some pretty experienced MAS juniors like Lim Khim Wah/Ng Hui Lin and Mak Hee Chun/Goh Liu Ying.

Vietnamese badminton star has great chance in American Open
09:34' 27/08/2007 (GMT+7)
VietNamNet Bridge - Leading Vietnamese shutter Nguyen Tien Minh has a good draw in the American Badminton Open and a great chance of progressing.
In the first two rounds the world number 45 plays opponents ranked far below him. If he beats Sri Lanka’s world number 237 Dinuka Karunaratne in the opening round, he will play the winner of the match between 240th ranked Agusriad Amphie of Indonesia and 62nd ranked Roman Spitko of Germany.
He is expected to run into Canadian Richard Vaughan, the world number 30, in the next round, with the winner booking a spot in the last eight. All the players in the world’s top ten are absent, leaving the field open to others.
Vietnam has sent three players for the men’s singles, men’s doubles, and men’s team events in the tournament to run from August 28 to September 1. The others are Nguyen Quang Minh and Tran Thanh Hai.
In the last two years, the skilful Minh has made great progress, beating several top players like Dane Kenneth Jonassen, South Korean Lee Hyun-il, Thai Boonsak Ponsana, and Indonesian Taufik Hidayat.

Tien Minh vs Richard Vaughan
I'm so sad that I can't be there to watch the game today. This is one of the matches I'd like to watch the most and it is very emotional for me due to the countries they both represent. Whatever the outcome is, I'm sure it's going to be a very good match
