Only two defending champs participate in this year edition, Jung KE/Kim HN and Ahmad/Natsir. Will home fave Saina Nehwal win her first ever IND SS title?
Thanks CLELY for your support.. Within a hour, India Open will be going to start... Ofcourse, in the qualifiers, mostly indians occupied nearly 90% of the places in MS and WS. They might be fighting with each other to get one among the four spots in the main draw. My prediction would be 1. Ruthvika Shivani 2. Rituparna Das in the women's singles who will move ahead to main draw. In MS, 1) Sameer Verma (brother of Sourabh verma) 2) Rohit yadav 3) Arvind bhatt 4) H.S.Prannoy These four will advance to main draw.
No prob WS, MD, XD are still competitive despite the Chinese elites absence. Indian promising talent P.V. Sindhu likely will meet two CHN youngsters in first and second round respectively, this should be interesting encounter.
Sorry. I don't think DD Sports will make it live in early stages. As expected, it would stream live starting from Quarterfinals i guess.
That's all for the day.. Some of my predictions gone wrong as far as MS qualifiers.. 1) Old Horse Chetan Anand has beaten Sameer verma(brother of Sourabh verma) and is going to meet Sourabh verma in R1 (Will Sourabh take revenge on behalf of his younger brother). 2) Subhankar Dey has beaten Oscar bansal to make an entry in R1 and have a clash with Iskandar as Sony Dwi Kuncoro has withdrawn. 3) Arvind bhatt will clash with Kenichi tago 4) H.S.Prannoy will clash with Suppanyu in R1. And as usual in WS, 1) 16 year old Rituparna Das will clash with Juliane Schenk .. May god save her.. 2) Trupti Mrugunde will clash with Neha pandit. 3) 16 year old Ruthvika Shivani will meet Minatsu mitani :crying:.. Will she overcome her??? 4) Saili Rane will meet Tanvi Lad.
Is it?? When did he play ?? After my introduction to badminton last year October, i have never seen him playing. Good player???
I'm rooting for Tiara Rosalia / Imawan Gabby. after their well-performance at BAC they seem to have a little bit more confidence
MD could be very nice with LYD/KSH, KSR/KKJ, MB/CM, TBH/KKK, XL/QZ. Hope they all make it to the QF/SF!
I think you guys are getting confused between Joachim Persson (Danish Singles Player) and Joachim Fischer Nielsen (Mixed Player) Persson used to be one of the best players in the world, but he's suffered constant injuries over the last 3 years which have ruined his career. He no longer plays/trains full time. Capable of a good result, and maybe had things worked out differently injury wise he may have won a few titles but not to be.
What is your take on (2) and (4). i have heard of Neha Pandit and think she should win. For (4), I have not heard of their name. Are they 16 plus years old as well?
