Nothing much to analyse in WS, WD and MD. Wong Mew Choo is unlucky enough to be in the same qualification group with Dai Yun, but she has beaten players in the top 10 before. The qualifier plays Miho Tanaka in R32 (first round). The other Malaysian in the WS qualifier is Woon Sze Mei. Wong/Chin Eei Hui plays Zhang Dan/Zhang Yawen in first round. The winner plays second seed Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen in R16. In fact Fong/Ooi has better opportunity despite having to qualify for the main draw. They face a Japanese pair in the qualifiers and another Japanese pair awaits in the first round if they qualify. Kim/Ra giving this a miss. Gao/Zhang first seeded and expected to win. Koo/Chin has an exciting qualifying round encounter with Cheng Rui/Zhang Yawen. Gan/Fong is up against an Irish pair in the qualifying.
Too many tournaments already? Need a rest before Thomas/Uber Cup? Plus there are men's doubles and ladies' doubles for them as well.
