2018 German Open Grand Prix Gold

So many players have pulled out according to tournamentsoftware latest update particularly in men's singles discipline. Jan O Jorgensen, Hans Kristian Vittinghus, Anders Antonsen, Sai Praneeth, Matsutomo/Takahashi are among the notable names. Kento Momota has been promoted to main draw and will take on TPE young star Wang Tzu Wei tomorrow.

The tournament is scheduled to begin this morning (09.00am local time) and as usual will stage qualification round and mixed doubles R/32 (except four matches that involving qualifiers) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/matches.aspx?id=42A5647B-467F-47A1-88EB-53B7580C6EBA

Top-seed Tang CM/Tse YS have tricky opponent to pass, recent Swiss Open champion and local favourites Lamsfuss/Herttrich. We also see the famous double specialist, 39 years old Joachim Fischer Nielsen who's making comeback here with new partner, 18 y.o. Alexandra Boje. Fischer suffered horrible injury, broke his left ankle in Glasgow World Championships early round last August.
 
Kenta Momota is not playing today!
Sorry guys!

He has been given a PFQ instead. :)
Have to wait until tomorrow to see him plays.
 
I doubt Lin Dan can win it here, nor the AE next week; otherwise he wouldn't be taking more than a week's break from training during Chinese New Year. The commitment and drive are just not there, not to mention other things.

Lin Dan did not train at all during Feb- March Winter Training Period. I can confirm this.
