Fran/Pia will probably face either their team mate Rijal/Debby or Songphon/Kuncahala in second round. Expected Fran/Pia to progress till QF at least. Towi/Butet not in the same half with Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei, they will face LYD/HJE, which i think both Towi/Butet and Fran/Pia have a very good record against any KOR top XD. If Towi/Butet not slip, most likely they will face either Robert/Nadiedza or He Hanbin/Yu Yang.
Very tough for Simon Santoso, GreyMel, Tontowi/Butet, Alvent/Gunawan, and Nova/Vita Many interesting parties in first round (more seeded will not too affect, IMO): MS: Nguyen Tien Mien vs LHI Du Pengyu vs Boonsak Chen Jin vs Simon (can Simon take the advantage of host country's support?) WS: Liu Xin vs Porntip Tine vs Sung Hyun Ji Schenk vs BYJ MD: Mads/Jonas vs BC/GZD WD: GreyMel vs MJ/PanPan XD: Tontowi/Butet vs Ha/LYD
If Linda and Firda pass the Q round, they will face Wang Yihan and Gu Juan respectively. Either April or Nana will face Inthanon in first round. While Febe facing Ayane Kurihara in first round, and either SJH or Tine in second round.
Greysia/Meiliana meet another CHN pair MJ/PP in first round. If the current INA WD U-19 strongest pair, Ririn Amelia/Melati Daeva Oktaviani pass Q round, they have a bright chance to progress till second round.
Most parties in WS qualification will be battles among INA WS players. For now, only one ticket to main draw high probably secured for INA --> Q4 But, Firda should be aware against Ana Rovita (will Ana perform terrible surprises like last year?) Q2 and Q3 seems 50-50 Q2: Before battle Nana vs April, April should defeat Singaporean who is not easy meat Q3: Linda should not face any difficulty for first match in qualification round But, any result can happen in second match Fu Mingtian or Hsiao Ma Pai also has same chance to progress to main draw.
Many hole on current system We don't know how computerize program work. The drawing held on closed and limited forum in BWF head office.
Add some exciting R/32 clashes of singles division : MS Chen Long vs JOJ Shon Wan-ho vs Hayom WS Eriko Hirose vs Jiang Yanjiao Tai Tzu Ying vs Wang Xin As expected for SSP level, a very competitive tournament even started from qualifying round.
All the top and in-form Indonesian players are facing difficult draw from the first round. Towi/Butet facing the worst draw. Alvent/Hendra meeting Fu HF/Cai Yun again Simon meeting Chen Jin(I expect Simon to win) but have to face Lin Dan in quarter final. Greys/Mel meeting Ma Jin/Pan Pan and might have to face Maeda/Suetsuna in qf.
It is so great to have big matches even in the early rounds........i love sspremier!! Unluckily for me the time zone makes problems for me since the matches start at 4 am here in europe / france or germany......i have to change my sleeping habits, maybe^^
