With the strong entries from China and Korea, a title here will again be considered a miracle (like the German Open 2008). This is a time for the potential players to show their worth as usual!
Men's Singles
Simon Santoso -- to fulfill his seeding and enter the SF. To prepare himself for the upcoming Thomas Cup. He SHOULD participate here and in the Badminton Asia Championships a fortnight later. A SF victory against either of the 3 Chinese players will be a bonus (hopefully Chen Yu)! Potential opponents in QF: Park Sung Hwan, Boonsak Ponsana, Shoji Sato and Wong Choong Hann.
Simon is seeded 3 now and Tony/Candra is seeded 2I think Simon will meet top two seed (BCL or Chen Jin) in possible semifinal scenario based on his seeding (#4), because Chen Yu gets seeding number 3 for upcoming India Open.
