French Open SS 2008 - Day 1 (Tuesday October 28)

In less than 24 hours, the French Open begins. All draws can be found located at tournamentsoftware: click here (http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draws.aspx?id=25025)

All withdrawals should be updated within the next few hours.

On Day 1, it would be interesting to follow Ai Goto (WR#66). She was in such good form last week at the Denmark Open SS 2008, defeating Eriko Hirose (WR#16) and Xu Huaiwen (WR#8).

But after Day 1, it should be interesting to follow NIELSEN Joachim Fischer/PEDERSEN Christinna (WR# 35) who defeated 4 XD pairs ranked higher than them at the Denmark Open SS 2008.

Yes, today is for qualification matches. And Ai Goto (WR#66) is still required to qualify on Day 1, even though her form is good (from last week's Denmark Open SS 2008).

last week she also played from qualification..........

Your are correct... At the Denmark Open last week, Ai Goto played from the Qualification Rounds and finished as the 8 best WS players.
.

Based on tournament website, today's qualifying round will be started on 09.00 local time (15.00 WIB, 16.00 MAS/SIN/CHN time). I guess several MS and WS players will be promoted into main drawing due to last minute withdrawal.
