MEN’S SINGLES
Three players had been recorded to carve their name in Asian Games history, won back to back gold medal, Zhao Jianhua (1986 & 1990), Taufik Hidayat (2002 & 2006) and Lin Dan (2010 & 2014). In the absence of illness Lee Chong Wei and Super Dan, the gold medal contention for this year Jakarta edition will eye the strongest contender Kento Momota who brilliantly captured world title in Nanjing recently and the Olympic Champion Chen Long, the Chinese was silver medalist four year ago in Incheon lost to his legendary senior. Both players are slated to facing each other in last eight. Chou Tien Chen, Kidambi Srikanth, Son Wan Ho, Shi Yuqi, Ng Ka Long and local favourites Jonatan Christie-Anthony Ginting will add spice for gruelling competition here.

WOMEN’S SINGLES
The race for Asian Games will offer intriguing rivalry between elite players, only Spaniard sensation Carolina Marin can’t compete in this Asia’s biggest multi-sports event. World number one Tai Tzu Ying could redeem her unexpected defeat in world meet and chance to change her medal color in Incheon when she lost to London OG champion Li Xuerui in final four, Tai will meet either Nozomi Okuhara or the lefthander He Bingjiao at quarterfinal. Indian darlings Pusarla Sindhu-Saina Nehwal, Japan starlets Nozomi Okuhara-Akane Yamaguchi, Thailand ace Ratchanok Intanon and China young bloods Chen Yufei-He Bingjiao are among medal contenders in this category. On bottom-half draw, Pusarla Sindhu has possible tough clash against home player the well-improved Gregoria Mariska in last sixteen also Chen YF-Yamaguchi part two at quarters.

MEN’S DOUBLES
Home hotshots Gideon/Sukamuljo who clinched two titles in this year at Istora Senayan are overwhelming favourite to present gold medal, the Minions swallowed disappointing losing in world championships quarterfinal and it’s time to accomplish their major event target. Notable participants will comprise of Kamura/Sonoda, newly-crowned World Champion Li JH/Liu YC, Liu C/Zhang N, Malaysian duo Goh VS/Tan WK, Taiwanese Lee JH/Lee Y, Chen HL/Wang CL to break Indonesian gold tradition in this category. Hendra Setiawan won two Asian Games with different partners, Mohammad Ahsan and Markis Kido in Incheon 2014 and Guangzhou 2010 respectively.

WOMEN’S DOUBLES
Japan top-two world rank cement their supremacy and replace its giant neighbour China as women’s doubles powerhouse. A set of medal of world meet in Nanjing recently is clear evidence how they rule this discipline towards Tokyo 2020. In Asian Games gold medal list, they only succeeded once in Bangkok 1970, almost five decades ago. Indonesian high-profile double specialist Greysia Polii who stunned favourite Matsutomo/Takahashi sensationally in Incheon will renew her hope with younger partner Apriani Rahayu, world meet bronze medal certainly will be morale boost for this home hopeful.

MIXED DOUBLES
Firstly contested in 1966 Bangkok Games, South Korea had dominated this event, clinched gold medal six times of 13 title contention. Two Chinese top-pairs, Zheng SW/Huang YQ and Wang YL/Huang DP alongside with home heroes Ahmad/Natsir will be the frontrunner to clinch gold medal. However, some potential contenders may spark surprise for the favourite, All England champion Watanabe/Higashino, Tang CM/Tse YS, Chan PS/Goh Liu Y, Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai.
 
Does the individual event count for any world ranking points?
 
I have a question. Why WS just has 4 seeds for a draw of 32? It appears like PVS has the benefits of it, except she will have to face the home favorite Tunjung in the 2nd round!

WS-Okuhara has tough draw having He B J (R16),TTY QF
Nehwal could face intanon in QF...intriguing.
Yamaguchi Facing CYF in QF,PVS has good draw.
MS-KS has tough draw wincent,wangtzu/nguyen,SYQ but he deserves such a draw not utilizing a favorable draw in WC and elsewhere.
KM-will have a tough time with ginting(hopefully recovering to his best in time),CL in QF.Others have normal draw

Pretty exciting draw for Asian games gold...Winners will be legends.

No Lin Dan in MS.. what a bummer.

So I guess the same live streaming sources as the team event?

Actually I think I read somewhere that it does have the same WR points as continental championships. So probably max 9200 points for the individual event.

it is up to Badminton Asia to select which tournament to be used to count point for world ranking. The option is whether from Asian Games, or the Asia Championship
 
Just read an article about Ginting here with google translate:

"Anthony has improved, he can walk again. Anthony Ginting forced himself a little. He had already felt cramps since the middle of the second game. But he was arrested because he felt responsible for being the spearhead of the team match. But luckily there were no muscles injured and so on"

Budi hinted Anthony could go down in the individual number match, moreover there was still a break for recovery.

"Now the duty of the medical team and physiotherapist is to help Anthony's recovery physically and mentally. There are special techniques that can help Anthony's condition to recover faster," explained Budi.​

He's supposed to meet Momota again in R16...but I fear that Momota will easily grind him down again in his already weakened state.
 
HendraSetiawan is legend, how did he enter this fouryearly finals 3 times in a row? If he was here i think he will win it again.

and he being shouted like that by Li/Liu in an unmakesense manner at TC just shows lack of respect from LL to such a nice guy.

I think Kevin just did what Hendra should have done.

That post is related to a player, not to this event thread. So the post should go to professional players forum topic about that player. And on that topic there is already mention about her earnings. So that post in this thread has no value and it is in wrong place.

Or can we discuss about Lin Dan's clothing lineup in this thread as well since he is also playing in Asian games?
