I think we can reasonably expect 'regular' participants from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, just like past New Zealand Opens... Last year [NZ Open was in October, I think] was a bit unpleasant for the Indonesians because the National Team was disbanded and INA players who want to go to NZ had to finance themselves... :cool:
 
this is a huge improvement compared to last year's line up (5 players only from INA)

hopefully other countries will send their players as well..

btw, do you guys think that KLRC will ask all of the sponsored players to come? that'd be awesome, cos we'd get Lars/Jonas, Andrew Smith, Zhou Mi, etc.. :)

Rupesh Kumar/Thomas Sanave
Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen

Yes! I pick Debby-Pia to win WD. Rijal-Debby for XD... Fran-Pia is the next possible winner...

Andre and Hayom will play those 3 MS well... and among the WS, I say Sayaka Sato is the most likely person to win...
 
Here is the draws file,

No Tommy & Nugroho in drawing
Bad Draw in WD, Pia/Debby will meet Anneke/Anissa too early
Good Draw in XD :)

Some of the seedings are a bit of a surprise - especially Kritteka Gregory & Mary O'Connor being seeded in womens doubles.
 
Hi guys,
I just received this from email. Anyone here in NZ able to record? Unfortunately I don't have sky :-(

As you are aware the New Zealand Open Grand Prix is being held next week at the North Shore Events Centre.
We have a large and strong entry making it potentially one of the best events to be staged in NZ

It should be more fun for the NZ audience if not all of the seeded players are Asians... :cool: I actually prefer that NZ win one title... Badminton in NZ will grow better if there are local heroes... ;)
 
Hope the Djarum guys will do well. Same goes to our Malaysian boys... which i think only the doubles will go far.
