Interesting draw for indians..
K.Srikanth , if qualified will meet kento momota and possible next round opponent will be wang zhenming/TinMinhNyugen. Looking forward to his matches.
Sai Praneeth vs Hu Yun in the first round.
H.S.Prannoy if qualified, will meet Sourabh verma in the first round.
Sindhu could possibly meet Aya Ohori in the first round . Let's see how these youngsters do there.
Again Saina vs Lindaweni in the first round..
Looks like there are 8 badminton players in MS from INDIA. I guess going forward INDIA will take over BADMINTON as they took over CRICKET!!![]()
ITs all $$$ , the more $$$ the players work harder and better.
yes, she is coming back slowly. She also played at the All Japan Workers Badminton Championship last week but lost to Shizuka Uchida in 3 games in the QF. All the best to her in the coming JO.nice to see Sayaka Sato back in tournaments and she has an easy path to the main draw.
Many MS players withdrew it seems. I have read in some article saying "The following is the Indian contingent for Japan Open: Parupalli Kashyap, Ajay Jayaram, B. Sai Praneeth, K. Srikanth, Saurabh Verma, Manu Attri, Sumeet Reddy and P.V. Sindhu. Coach: Madhumita Bisht."
Saina Nehwal also withdrew her name from Japan Open 2013 for the reason which is unknown to me.
The MS draw is insanely competitive for everyone not named CL or LCW.
WZM vs TMN in the first round, and the winner might face Kento Momota in the 2nd. Jan O vs Takuma in the first and the winner will be facing either WKW or DuPY. It's just..the 1st 2nd rounds could be a QF or almost a SF!
And in the WS if everyone seeded is actually competing(How many of the Chinese WS will play?TTY?RI?) it could be a very exciting tournament, with many strong junior players coming up, Nozomi, Sun Yu and Aya Horoi.
The MD could be a repeat of the WC final, but there's plenty of room for upsets. The 1st seeds path to the final could be a very interesting one indeed...

looking at the draw i think Han Li will be the dark horse here.
time to step up from her GP Gold title last year.
