Yup, plus Saina Nehwal will be missed this tourney too. Will Wang SX shine here?

Am I right to say all Oly 12 gold medalist are absent?

 

[Aikachan]

Wonder if Ah How already slim? Big hope for ZZ eventho' it wont be easy...Looking forward to see Viktor too!

Yup, I think so as we didn't see their names in Player List through Japan Open website

ZZ to lose in qualifying rounds, drawn against Chen Yuekun in the second qualifying round if he gets past the first
Well, he has to slowly start accumulating points so that he wouldn't get drawn in qualifying!

This guy also a little bit prone to injury in tournaments: the swollen knee area, the twisted ankle and recently the blisters....need to take care of himself better...

Very likely...............

 

[LD rules!]

Read that Peter Gade has broke his left wrist, but he's still going to Japan

 

[undeadshot]

BROKE it? That's horrible! Surely it is exaggerated!

A sprain isn't the same nor as serious as a broken/fractured wrist, hope it's the former. Luckily it's his left hand,the non-playing hand;as long as he can still hold the shuttlecock to serve,he can play but what if he has to do a dive to retrieve a shot? Still,wish him the very best.

As someone who's broke their wrist before, playing with a cast on affects your balance (if it's on the other wrist) so it can be quite difficult I guess and also you can't dive.

The report said it was broken, not sprained.

Is the CHN team gonna walk out from this SS? I hate it when politics rear its ugly head in sports....

The same thing happened in the last edition.

 

[event]

Is the CHN team gonna walk out from this SS?

Yes, they already have:
Massive Chinese withdrawal forces Japan Open re-draw

So politics won huh? Sigh....

Thanx for head up by the way...

On the other hand the absence of the Chinese team will give some more motivation to the other big guns
