Only Carolina Marin will defend her title in one of this Asia's popular tourist destination city, last chance for shuttlers to gain crucial point toward Dubai Superseries Finals in upcoming December.
With two top-ranked Lee Chong Wei and Chen Long have withdrawn, newly-crowned China Open champion Jan O Jorgensen will be strong favorite to continue good run here, the remaining seeded players in the fray are Son Wan Ho, Tian Houwei, Chou Tien Chen, recent Denmark Premier winner Tanongsak and Englishman Rajiv Ouseph. Home players, Angus Ng Ka Long who cruised into semifinal last year, Wei Nan, Hu Yun and Vincent Wong Wing Ki will pose dangerous darkhorses that may derail the scenario also the evergreen Lee Hyun Il. China young guns will be represented by Shi Yuqi, Qiao Bin and Huang Yuxiang.
The Olympic Champion Carolina Marin has Thailand rival at opening round, Busanan Ongbamrungphan also former champion Saina Nehwal who will take on once again Porntip Buranaprasertsuk after previous week China Open. Fourth seed Tai Tzu Ying has challenging opponent too at first round, Minatsu Mitani. No China representative in this category as Sun Yu and He Bingjiao pulled out. On quarterfinal scenario, Marin is slated to meet Akane Yamaguchi and Tai Tzu Ying has possible meeting with Aya Ohori. On lower-half of draw, an intriguing clash may happen in last sixteen, rematch of last week Fuzhou encounter between Sung Ji Hyun and P.V. Sindhu.
Top seed Goh VS/Tan WK will take on European foe at opening round Astrup/Rasmussen also second seed as well Chai/Hong have Rio bronze medalists Ellis/Langridge, a repetition of Rio OG semifinal match. Other contenders, Boe/Mogensen, Li JH/Liu YC, Gideon/Sukamuljo, Ivanov/Sozonov should have no problem to clear first hurdle. Women's doubles will see competitive rivalry as almost all elite combinations taking part here, current best duo Matsutomo/Takahashi, Rio silver and bronze medalist, Juhl/Pedersen and Jung KE/Shin SC, last week China Open winner Chang YN/Lee SH. China new hopefuls Chen QC/Jia YF have chance to take revenge over Tanaka/Yonemoto tomorrow, the Japanese knocked out them at homeground Superseries.
In mixed doubles category, Ko SH/Kim HN has complicated test to pass first round, local fresh pair Tang CM/Tse YS, current runner up of THA GP Gold and TPE Masters GP winner. Another seeded pair also have tough opponent at very early round, Chan PS/Goh LY will face Korean experienced Yoo YS/Chang YN.
