    Just found out day before yesterday when I was playing at Siri that it’ll be starting soon. Hopefully I can record some footage from down low and post it for you guys.

    Funny/saddening story from the MAS delegation
    Their luggage was left behind in MAS and will only come at night (India time) today
    No court practice for them and Chan Peng Soon can only use bathrobe as clothing LOL

    Got the passes for semi's and finals. Will go on 31st as well just in case players decide to get cheeky and not perform up to their usual standards.

    XD R1 matches are not played on Tuesday for this tournament
    Quite uncommon nowadays

    https://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=1D04BED4-2309-4F7F-B469-5E878816AACF

    The participation list is not that fancy though. Seems like they assume R1 matches will end quickly as the level is not very high

    India Open tournament's level hurts so bad because of its status as a 'normal SuperSeries'. Barely feels like a GP, all dominated by India players except MS

    So?
    It doesn't mean that they are 100 percent better, even more without any data?
    Jeez, you sure like downing any chance.

    Does anyone know why this tournament has much weaker line-ups than the Malaysian and Indonesian Masters, even though the prize money is the same and ranking points are the same?

    Asia team championship is next week, and being the last tournament in the tour (after Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand) doesn't help that

    I guess it's the third consecutive tournament and players are now getting tired/injured i.e. luck of the calendar.

    Possibly because India open is less prestigious than Indonesia/Malaysia. Though those were the masters earlier rather than the higher tier competitions so I'm not sure. Home support may factor though.
