Great tournament for Michelle Li  at the BWF Super 500 Thailand Open beating the likes of Sindhu  (Two-time Olympic medalist in 2016/2020, and current WR13) and Zhiyi  (2022 Asian Champion, and current WR7)

 

Meanwhile, the BWF Super 750 Singapore Open  has started, no Axelsen  unfortunately   But a great straight games win for Li, over Gilmore  to start off her tournament (21-11, 21-15), continuing right where she left off. Tough task in Yamaguchi  up next, not really expecting much.

Such a shame that Kunlavut had to retired in his semifinals match against Ginting as he experienced a shoulder injury during the match. But it was not totally unexpected considering his play style and the fact that he has been playing four straight week of world class tournaments since the Sudirman Cup. 

 

What to look out for in this coming week's Indonesia Open is the return of Viktor Axelsen and what kind of form he will be at after a brief layoff since the end of the Sudirman Cup due to a leg injury. 

 

Another thing I will look out for is the response of the world's # 1 Chinese mixed doubles pair of Zheng and Huang after getting knocked out in the QF at Singapore. Can they rebound and win the title in Indonesia or are they going to miss out on another championship. If the latter happens, we might be seeing a more open/competitive field in the mixed doubles event that it ever has been for quite a while. For so long, Zheng/Huang have been unstoppable until their unexpected loss at the Tokyo Olympics. They seem to be back at their best earlier this year before suffering some key loses at the Asian Championships and this week.

BWF 1000 Indonesia Open started this week. Michelle Li started off her campaign against Kim Ga Eun  today, but unfortunately ended up losing in three sets (24-22, 17-21, 21-23). This was a match of comebacks, as Ga Eun was 14-9 up in Set 1 (Li won 24-22), Li was 13-9 up in Set 2 (Ga Eun won 21-17), but most shockingly, Li was 18-9 up in Set 3 and still managed to lose the match (Ga Eun won 23-21)

For India we had a bit of a suprise in MS with 4 players making the round of 16 , i cannot remember when we have seen that before in a BWF 1000 event ..... Rajawat had the luck of the draw when kunlavut was a no show .... But the rest were  legitimate wins ..... 

 

Sen overcoming  the 8th seeded Lee Jia was a good victory ....  Kidambi and prannoy were more expected....

 

PV Sindhu overcame Tunjung which was good as she has lost to her a couple of times this year 

 

Satchi win in men doubles was expected .....

 

But no one in XD or WD in round of 16 .....
