They probably didn’t fix it earlier, because they knew it might give them a chance to send two pairings instead of one. It was a “mistake” not a mistake. Whatever, I’ll just add both pairings to the list of athletes I’ll be rooting against during the Olympics Styrka and Roamingrover86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be BWF's interest in doing such an "error" ? The only thing they will get from it, is that they will look like a bunch of amateurs not being able to keeping track of a simple ranking. What a great success for them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singles draw is predetermined, and Rd of 16 shall be A vs B, C vs D ... O vs P. But since there are 13 seeds, 3 get byes which are A, E and P winners and B, F and O is blank gilbsh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erw 23 Posted Friday at 11:12 AM #35 Share Posted Friday at 11:12 AM Women's single The only one to see in 1st round would be Tai vs Intanon, as Tai Tzu-Ying has suffered from injury, and Intanon is the strongest among non-seeded players. An have to win Akane and Tai Tzu Ying, while Chen need to win He or Sindhu , and Marin. Both of them are tough but An made worse draw. Women's doubles Group A absorbed most of the strong non-seeded players. Liu-Tan, Matsuyama-Shida, and Baek-Lee would easily go to round of 8. Kim-Kong and Kititharakul-Prajongjai would make it either. For Group A, China and Japan have most chances.. but I think there could be some upset. Mixed doubles Bad for Group C. Not easy to get 2nd place in both group A and D, but good draw for two chinese teams. Group B has two strong teams that could secure round of 8. Who to become the 1st place in Group B would be interesting, as well as every match in group C Josh and Roamingrover86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly_like_a_don 1,054 Posted Friday at 11:23 AM #39 Share Posted Friday at 11:23 AM Happy with Sindhu's draw. She's not been in good form. But never lost to any Chinese player in Olympics or World Championship, so getting a Chinese in R16 and QF should be great. Sen wasn't lucky.
