Having another look at today's matches, it is found that Gong Weijie would probably again face Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk at Qualification Round 2 at 4:00pm.

Just last week, GWJ defeated TS at the All-England Qualification Round 2, with GWJ winning 19-21, 21-16, 21-14, in 0:48.

It's such a strange thing that they are to meet again so soon. Can GWJ do it again this time?

It is quite time consuming for us to check the draw every day... to find out who is withdrawing from tournaments. I still think the idea of releasing the draw on the eve of a tournament is the best way of doing things.

So you think it's up to the BWF president to decide. Even if it's so, he would still need to consult with National Associations and Tournament organisers.
