The overall cast isn't too much different with previous week US Open except less competitive WD category, some INA shuttlers who pulled out at New York will show up here. CAN Open is shifted from Vancouver to Calgary this year, once staged World Championships back to 1985.
Both MS top contenders, Lee Chong Wei and top-seed Marc Zwiebler are expected to meet at last round. A number of average players like Ueda, Gurusaidutt, Praneeth, Chong Wei Feng, Vincent Wong Wing Ki may trouble the frontrunners en route to the final. Second seed, China youngster Xue Song should redeem his disappointment R/32 exit in US Open and go further in this GP.
Defending champion Michelle Li will have major threat from Japanese ladies, Takahashi, Mitani, Hashimoto, Sato and US player Zhang Beiwen. First round tricky test script for home favourite as Shen Yaying most likely will be her opponent.
It's interesting to follow the newly crowned winner and runner-up US Open, Li/Liu and Attri/Reddy respectively whether they could make it back to back successful. Top seed, Adistia/Gunawan is strong fave to snatch victory.
Muskens/Piek, Matsuo/Naito, Gutta/Ponnappa will capitalise the absence of powerful CHN WD as they only field the weak combination Huang DP/Zhu MC who lost disasterly to TPE pair at R/32 last week.
The XD rivalry will feature Fuchs/Michels, Reginald Lee CH/Chau HW, Arends/Piek also China young sensation Huang KX/Huang DP, two INA pairs Adistia/Marissa and Kurniawan/Dewi are predicted to add stiff competition here.
WS top-seed Akane Yamaguchi withdrew also MS 4th seed Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka as well.
