Mixed Doubles :- Saurabh/Anoushka claims the title

Horrible draws for India for the BWF Japan Open World tour 750 event....Shocked with the draw literally cant see India to be for more than 2-3 days barring Sindhu. If they need then need upsets which looks unlikely.

I think it is time for youngsters who have done well in youth games to be given a chance especially in women because the womens did not do well in commonwealth as well .... suprised by shiva and solanki especially ....manoj is aging and no longer great they need to drop him , mohammed is good but some where loses narrowly I do not know why ..... and high weights were not there ...... men were I think better than last time as they got the same medals and amits win was phenomenal , also the three higher weights were not there
