SEEDING 1)Lee Chong Wei 2)Kento Momota 3)Jan O Jorgensen 4)Lin Dan 5)Viktor Axelsen 6)Chou Tien Chen 7)Tian Houwei 8)Tommy Sugiarto Breaking News :Home favourite and Defending champion Kidambi Srikanth is unseeded SEEDING 1)Carolina Marin 2)Saina Nehwal 3)Li Xuerui 4)Ratchanok Intanon 5)Sung Ji Hyun 6)Wang Shixian 7)Nozomi Okuhara 8)Tai Tzu Ying Draw : 8 March 2016
In the very 1st round. Can C Marin avenge her previous defeat? Maybe PV Sindhu rises to the occasion on home soil and make it two in a row ? In any case, Nozomi Okuhara is likely to be waiting for either one in the QFs.
Exactly QF will be end of the run! Also, it's WSX vs WYH yet again in QF, I predict LXR to cruise again! Well we'll be in better position to foretell that after AE! Anyways I am more concerned about KS
Strong field keeps many talented Indian MS players out. 1.Aditya Joshi 2.Kaushal Dharmamer 3.Sourabh Verma 4.Abhishek Yeligar 5.K. Ajay Kumar 6.Rahul Yadav Chittaboina (16 year old) 7.Oscar Bansal 8.Abhimanyu Singh 9.Aditya Prakash 10. Ansal Yadav 11.Kartik Jindal
