Some foreign players are expected to deliver challenge for home shuttler, Son Wan Ho, Lee Dong Keun, Kazumasa Sakai, Wei Nan, Anand Pawar, etc. Who will be qualified to main draw?
Anand pawar is given the direct ticket to main draw and he will be up against Takuma ueda in his first round match..
Yup, you're correct both Anand Pawar and Gao Huan have been promoted to replace Wong Wing Ki and Lee Chong Wei in main draw.
The shortest match duration, home pair only needs 13 mins to defeat Mongolian MD. 2012 World Jr Champ, Nozomi Okuhara is playing now after several months absence from international tourney.
Lee Young-dae is Victor mascot I guess because none CHN badminton player sponsored by Victor. Two SS in China this year are sponsored by Adidas and Victor, no Li Ning anymore?!
Tough for both Chan Yan Kit and Tian Houwei as they will play each other soon after their previous matches. Same goes for Song Xue and Wei Nan.
i saw other version where tai tzu ying in the middle of the poster too. probably for taiwan. as far as i know,li ning facing some(or many a lots of) crisis~ even li ning need to come out of his retirement,not to play gymnastic but to rescue his company from the crisis
Yup, the more fit player will win it. Xue Song secures main draw ticket, def. Wei Nan, 21-10 / 21-12. No wonder that Li Ning replaced by others to sponsor badminton tourney. Nozomi Okuhara in main draw after eliminated home WS, Qin Jinjing 21-19 / 10-21 / 21-18.
The qualifying round has been completed, three foreign shuttlers entered main draw Son Wan Ho, Vladimir Ivanov, Nozomi Okuhara. Tomorrow's Round of 32 (09.00am, 4 courts) : http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...AE00A2-31D9-46DA-A00A-01AC559AEC7A&d=20131113
As I expected, Xue Song avenged his defeat on Nan Wei, so did Tian Houwei on Chan Yan Kit; they are both fast learners winning decisively.
not really... have you seen him play at IBL ? Go Ivanov!! Although he's now up against Sho Sasaki - that will be a tough one... But not impossible at all for Vova. Xue Song getting revenge over Nan Wei after Dutch Open - that's great. I liked how Nan Wei played at the dutch open, although it seemed he can lose concentration severely and give away a lot of cheap points. Now Xue Song is up against Tago - that's next to impossible for Xue Song to win now, i guess.
I have moved some threads on the Li Ning issue to this thread Li-Ning-sponsorship-shaky Should be quite interesting to continue the discussion on that thread
Frankly, I'm aware of the potential of some of the Russian players, Ivanov and Malkov, and it's good. IIRC, it was Ivanov who gave Wang ZM a hard time at this year's WC. I think it's a matter of time one or the other breaks into the top 10, more likely Ivanov.
