I think lky will have problem playing vitid. . Very steady. Those skip msia masters will play I guess.
Also, I wonder if SIS can fix the draft. Its there since day one. Oir fren tbh have been complaining a lot about this hall. My guess is everyone face the same problem.
Players have no other choice since BWF will remove the long-time 2019 & 2020 ranking point gradually started from 2nd August 2022.
No Japan A-listers, SGP Open 2022 Entry List has been published : https://extranet.bwfbadminton.com/d...Report Version 1 _Friday, 03rd June 2022_.pdf
DRAW has been released : https://extranet.bwfbadminton.com/docs/events/4441/docs/Singapore Open 2022 - DRAWS _Tuesday, 21st June 2022_.XLSX Tough to see top players playing three weeks in a row unless they have early exit in previous week tour, MAS Open or MAS Masters.
Anders Antonsen will not be playing - his injury still causes problems. He will go back to Denmark today and get checked by doctors and his psysio.
I'm just so unlucky. When I was in Australia, it was WT300 event and there were usually no stars. Now I'm in Singapore, everyone is pulling out.
2019 WINNER => https://bwfworldtour.bwfbadminton.com/tournament/3356/singapore-open-2019/results/2019-04-14 MS - Kento Momota (JPN) WS - Tai Tzu Ying (TPE) MD - Takeshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda (JPN) WD - Mayu Matsumoto/Wakana Nagahara (JPN) XD - Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai (THA) Competition Schedule Massive withdrawal as predicted, it's impossible for top players to keep their fitness level in proper condition in hectic schedule. MS is still competitive in the absence of Axelsen, Antonsen, Lee ZJ where home favorite Loh KY will find a series of established names to seek first title since nailed sensational gold medal in Huelva. Chen YF skips this event, finally she realizes her endurance started to wane, defending champion Tai TY who failed twice in MAS trying to rectify her setback, some of her major opponents Sindhu and Intanon also participate here alongside Chinese rivals, He BJ and Asian Champion Wang ZY.
Lots of Malaysian skipping this. Technically, they have home court advantage as well considering how many Malaysians are staying there. They should participate in this event as they will get home support and have a good chance of doing well in the absence of so many top players And it's just across the causeway anymore.
It's politics. They want to kill Lining. lol. LCW hardly come to Sg open. Of course he won all the MO 12 years. Lindan is also not very keen to play here with stomach upset. A big controversy linecall vs boonsak. lol SG open is always after IO and MO. So, all players got beaten up especially MS. The rest of the other categories are still ok. Faster recovery. A lot of pressure for lky to win. Vitid will be glad to play him again if he is here. Again, bwf shd space out. Give 1 week break between tournaments.
Anyway, anyone giving away their tickets? Give to me, I will pass it to my students to enjoy. I myself got 2 free season tickets. Not enough to go around. I saw many trying to sell off tues, wed and thurs tickets. lol 2019 edition was pretty good. Many exciting matches. eg KM vs ginting. TTy vs Yama. Japan MD mad dog shouts lol vs the rest.
