Most will be treating the German Open as warm-up event for the All England next week. INA's top MD pair the Minions will only play next week in the All-England.
Before: india open (ss) then malay open (ssp) then singapore open (ss) in 3 weeks. The latest one (singapore) usually attract more top players than the first one (india) Germany open (300) then all england (1000) then swiss open (300). Why the first one (germany) always have more top players than the latest one (swiss)?
Well, pvs these last few months has not been impressive. Plus, beating busanan with that scoreline, that's rare from her.
MS top-half saw Srikanth also Ginting as well were quite troubled by their opening round opponent, the Indian recurrence of inconsistency & indecision emerged in second game before regrouped in deciding game to subdue Leverdez. Srikanth will take on the all-out attacking player Lu GZ whom he beat twice previously, the most recent meeting was World Championships third round late last year. Meanwhile Ginting had to save three game points to avoid match extension against Pablo Abian. Tai TY, Chen YF and Sindhu advance without much complexity, the latter showed superb mode, footwork, defense and initiative are much better than her late uninspiring form as Busanan played normal game except her excessive unforced error. An engaging second round clash will pit the Indian mega star up to oppose Zhang Yiman, the Chinese late bloomer who seized attention currently, thanks to her Huelva World Championships bronze medal. The one which supposed to be exciting tie but turned out to text book script, Intanon was too strong for 22 years old Wang Zhiyi who's highly touted as CHN most shining WS next generation. Wang succumbed to "May" Intanon unreadable shots as the Chinese late anticipation frequently to witness the shuttlecock glided to empty field. Zheng/Zhang international debut failed, lost directly in first round to home pair Jansen/Efler. Mediocre show by the Chinese, the youngster Zhang SX was infected by high level nervousness while Zheng SW quite slow and below par of his regular sterling form, blunt attacking shot, frankly speaking Jansen was better than him in this match. Waiting next assessment in Basel, perhaps if this combination didn't work as expected, Zheng/Huang partnerships will continue until Paris 2024.
