Saina Nehwal Virtually Ruled Out Vimal Kumar "Saina won't be playing, she has already made a request to BAI. Saina is getting much better... Her first event will be the All England" Source: Times of India Print Edition dated 13 Feb, 2016 This is a major blow to Team India's chances. It is now advantage Singapore in Women's Team. PV Sindhu maybe asked to play 2nd Doubles with Sikki Reddy in addition to WS1.
Yes that was well speculated beforehand!! Not only are we going to have a tough time in this tourney but also SN playing AE the biggest regular tourney as her first competitive event of the year will be extremely tough!!
For tomorrow lineup the probable player for Korea men team versus Philippines MS 1 Son Wan Ho MS 2 Lee Dong Keun MS 3 Jeon Hyeok Jin MD 1 Kim Gi Jung / Kim Sa Rang MD 2 Ko Sung Hyun / Shin Baek Cheol
They may try their Jr players giving them exposure as it's a quite secure tie against Philippines! Unless they want their top guns some match practice I don't see any reason for going all out
You could be right. Then again, one major benefit of this event is the ranking points for Rio. Even for beating lower-ranked players, it might help and the players with the most to gain in that respect are Lee Dong Keun, Jeon Hyeok Jin, and Ko/Shin. Korea can't not qualify for the TUC. Their ranking is too high. But you could be right. The Korean coaches could be more concerned with winning the tournament or with giving younger players exposure than with trying to massage the points system. Still, they only have one singles player and one doubles pair who have no shot at going to Rio: Heo Kwang Hee and Choi Sol Kyu / Kim Jae Hwan respectively.
[MENTION=115680]nilesh123[/MENTION] We will only know the real and actual line up before the matches begin tomorrow. In my opinion MS 1 Son Wan Ho, MS 2 Lee Dong Keun, MS 3 Jeon Hyeok Jin, MD 1 Kim Gi Jung / Kim Sa Rang, MD 2 Ko Sung Hyun / Shin Baek Cheol will be fielded most of the time for the tournament because to help them gain more ranking points for Rio Olympics 2016. Heo Kwang Hee and Choi Sol Kyu / Kim Jae Hwan will not be going for Rio Olympics so whether they gain points here or not is less important.
