    Is momota supposed to be in Thailand? I mean the rest of the japanese players like naraoka etc isnt in Thailand so its not surprising he isn’t. Probably gotta save energy and prep for singapore snd indonesia.

    Momota should apply for Finnish citizenship. He is eligible now.

    If I know I am going to lose in Round 1, Bangkok Ready BWF 250 is the last place I will go to with their HD streams running wild on Youtube on all courts.

    According to Japanese news reports, a back injury is preventing him from playing.

    Lower back encompassing regions around hips/coccyx or upper back regions around thoracic vertebrae?

    I have a feeling that this could well be residual damage from the French Open held a couple of years ago. If that is the case, then the former.

    He really needs to start playing to get his ranking back up to qualify for the olympics. Its not impossible to get back to the top 10 from where he is, SYQ did it, im sure he can too.

    Momota skipping Singapore Open might mean he might miss Japan Open qualification... he's ranked 32 right now so if anyone overtakes him after Thailand and Singapore, he'll be on the reserve list.

    Scandalous. I will never forgive Tsuneyama or Nakanishi for this.

    Why ??? In the case Momota win in semi final match, Chou Tien Chen will be his next opponent ?

    And you will not forgive Chou too ???

    Momota made a decision, he has to be responsibility for this thing.

    Yeah but the coach have to make an effort to heal his injury! Especially an injury which happened such a long time ago. What kind of training are they making him do?

    The good news is Momota would have been able to beat WHY if not for his nerves. And WHY is the hottest thing on the badminton court right now! These net kills are superb. But Momota was able to counter that.

    I have less doubt now that if Momota starts playing a lot of tourney he will be back!

    Momota registered for Canada super 500 where the MS field is fairly competitive, but skipping the relatively less competitive US super 300 event week next to that. I don’t understand his strategy here

    Probably because Canada S500-US S300-Korea S500-Japan S750-Australia S500 are all consecutive weeks so taking a break to rest is good particularly the lower ranked one.

    From the way he played and moved, it doesn't seem he has recovered from his back injury yet
