Hope Towi/Butet can defend their title in here and Ahsan/Setiawan to show another significant improvement, they might be able to win a title in here.

Zhao Yun Lei finds herself playing in the qualifier again in WD with Shu Cheng. But at least in XD, ZYL is paired back with bf ZN, and they are in the same halves as MJ/XC (where they have a better head to head record). But first, ZYL/ZN faced Danish XD pair Mads/Kamilla in R32. ZYL "un-usually" do not have have good records against Danish.

many lady players will use BS12L, and guy might use SW35/SW37. there are also other models as well.

I hope Sayaka Takahashi will qualify today for the main draw and give a very good battle against Jiang Yanjiao. Jiang is a left hand player. No idea how sayaka will play against left hand players. Lets see how she overcome first hurdle.
If she does, she need to hope for wang shixian/carolina marin. If corolina marin prevails over shixian, again it would be a left hand battle between two. Interesting. Tough games ahead for this youngster .

I hope Sayaka Takahashi can get into the final ^_^

Same with Astro over here but usually only one court.

There is a stream available (HahaSports, Kakibara, StopStream) but i can't post links until a moderator approves them?

The stream is very poor quality though. Following on Live Score is easier.

Easy win for Adcock - White.

Ouseph up next

Anand Pawar took the first game. 22-20 against England player Rajiv Ouseph.. Come on. Anand. You can do it in straight games.

Just taken a quick look at the draw, I'll be suprised if there's a single English player left in the Tournament come Wednesday evening...

Anand is making many mistakes which will cost him loss in this tournament.
