Camilla played good rallies but was generally trailing and had difficulties reaching Saina’s precise dropshots. Score 21-15 21-14Players warming up....

Womens Singles draw

2009-10-12T18:16:00.004+02:00

Chinese players expected to dominate womens singles but with some international challenges.The first thing that strikes me when I look at the draw, is that it’s not a good draw to meet Q2 or Q4. Very strong chinese players are expected to come of these two qualifying pools. That raises the question if it’s not the time to come up with some amendments to the rules for accepting players into the

Men's singles draw

A chinese top draw against a danish bottom draw, that’s the first impression coming to me when I browse the draw.Lin Dan, Chen Jin, Chen Long and Gong Weijie is all in the top draw. The last of the 5 chinese players, Bao Chunlai, is in the bottom draw together with the 3 best danish players at the moment. A scary draw anyway for the danes as Bao was the recent winner in Japan Super Series, and
