China swept all 5 titles in 2014 edition, a rare feat is hard to remake this time, considering their dismal WS performance and inconsistent MD, China only won 1 title each at 8 concluded Superseries so far in this year through Sun Yu (SIN Open) and Chai B/Hong W (IND Open).[/FONT] [FONT="] [/FONT] [FONT="]Defending champion Chen Long alongside with home hopeful Jan O Jorgensen who back in action after missed last two SS due to stomach infection, China twice Olympic Champion Lin Dan and Malaysian hero Lee Chong Wei are leading contenders in this category. A steep road for China ace Chen L who had bagged 4 SS titles in this season to defend his title here as barring any upsets he’s slated to meet either Kashyap or Lee CW at quarterfinal and Axelsen or Lin D at semifinal. Two stunning youngsters who enhance their standard of play currently, 21 years old Viktor Axelsen and Kento Momota will be potential darkhorses to upset the favourites. Another two Superseries winner, Chou Tien Chen and Srikanth Kidambi who grouped at lower-half of draw should grab the opportunity to recharge here after a string of early defeats lately.[/FONT] [FONT="]R/32 highlights[/FONT][FONT="] : Parupalli Kashyap (IND) v Lee Chong Wei (MAS), Wang Zhengming (CHN) v Jan O Jorgensen (DEN)[/FONT] [FONT="] [/FONT] [FONT="]Twice world champion Carolina Marin no doubt is strongest candidate to clinch another SS title in this year after All England, Malaysia and Australia Open.

hope my prediction is 100% correct and perfect...!! http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...ist-amp-DRAW?p=2390009&viewfull=1#post2390009
That i would not call as 'predictions'. You have given all the possibilities. Give one prediction for LCW. And also, i don't think Kashyap will be able to beat LCW. He should have no difficulties in reaching quarterfinals.
Just check ts.com, WD defending champion Wang XL/Yu Y also pulled out. In MS category, Jayaram and Lee DK have been promoted into main draw also home WS Kjaersfeldt as well.
Ajay vs Srikanth in the first round itself? Who the hell make these kind of draws? BWF is a joke of an organisation.
There are certain rules on the Draw, depending on seeding and those not seeded. Whether one is up against a seeded or higher ranked player depends on "the luck of the draw". It is not unusual to see players from the same country being drawn against each other in the first round. The better player wins and proceeds to the next round. It is an opportunity for the "weaker" player to create an upset. Whatever, at least the same country player can advance and not being knocked out by a player from another country.
I'd rather have Ajay play against LCW than his fellow countryman in the first round. He was unseeded to begin with, and it wouldn't have made any difference whether he was playing in first half or second half. This is a total farce.
The Draw rules are transparent and fair to every player. Some may get a good draw, others may get a bad one. Those lower ranked than their opponents may get a chance to create an upset. If Ajay played a non-countryman and lost, he can't progress anymore. If Srikanth also lost to a player from another country, it will then be worse, for none of them is able to advance to the next round. But if Ajay or Srikanth fought each other and one of them managed to win, there is still a chance for the winner to progress further. Look at the brighter side.
[MENTION=15311]CLELY[/MENTION]....this tournament will be very unsuitable for Indonesian Time.I think Zhang/Zhao match will start 12:00 am there .
Where is Jonatan and Ihsan? They are 37 & 38th ranked respectively ahead of Tago at #39. I think they will have a better outing in this SS than Tago.
No. Never. Liu Cheng is like Xu Chen. He is only good in XD. Ma Jin should concentrate in WD only if she wishes to be included in the Olympic.
They are at Taipei this week where they probably have better chance to get more points at a cheaper costs.
