. 2011 Australia Badminton Open Grand Prix Gold Entries of participating players are not finalised yet. We have upgraded from previous years' Grand Prix status to Grand Prix Gold this year. Last year (2010), the highest ranked player was Nguyen Tien Minh from Vietnam (World No.6 during the tournament). This year, it is hoped to attract more higher ranked players to attend. .
I don't like the fact that the Aus GPG as well as many other tournaments, have been brought forward this year. I was going to play an international event in early July, but it's been brought forward to May
I don't like the fact that the Aus Open and many other tournaments are now GPG . There are still many other Grand Prix and International Series tournaments that you can participate in. .
Yeah, but the International Series event, I was going to enter coincided with my holidays, I will just wait till November then I will play Badminton Europe International events. I will enter some Junior Internationals instead.
It will be held at MSAC, but not in the Badminton Hall. They will be using the larger show court, the same place they held the thomas and uber cup Asian qualifiers in 2002.
I see thats great.. much better i suppose.. lol.. i wish i was there to be a part of it. would be awesome..
The Australian Open this year clashed with Osaka International Challenge. Australian Open: 5-10 April Osaka International Challenge: 6-10 April
Hi Chris, Where to get the tickets from? Whats MSAC stands for? Its the start of school holiday, i may get a chance to go there finally
which will probably mean no team japan this year? but its only an international challenge compared to a Grand Prix Gold event, so will see what the other teams think. maybe 3rd/4th stringers from korea/japan?
Oh who is our friend here playing international. It is great that you are in our midst, but we need to know your real name to support you all the way, just as we support JR for so long! Mind letting us know who you are?
