NEW partners

Zhang Nan / Ou Xuanyi

Liu Cheng / Huang Kaixiang

 

 

Thank you very much for telling me about the changes made in the MD partnership. But then why the changes made in the MD partnership all of a sudden? Any reason why to it? Liu Cheng / Zhang Nan are both rank top 10. It looks very cruel to split them right?

Indonesia Open began earlier today, but the big news is the HawkEye devices for player challenge haven't arrived yet.

 

The devices were mistakenly shipped to Chongqing, China instead of Jakarta due to a confusion between airport code of CGK (Jakarta) and CKG (Chongqing)

Team China had an awful performance in the recently concluded Japan open. I fear for their medal chances in next year's olympics.

What's up with a gazillion walkovers here today?

Its normal. Entries close weeks before the event, so we always have a decent amount of withdrawals. In big tournaments, there is always a waiting list to fill those slots and we don’t see walkovers. In smaller tournaments, late withdrawals are normally shown as walkovers as there are no reserves to replace the withdrawals.
