Prashanth 157 Posted April 12, 2016 #323 Share Posted April 12, 2016 A Win with Malaysia would most probably see us play against Aussies in the final...We need to play NZ cautiously and a draw would almost seal us the place in the final....Depends on the Canada vs Malaysia match...

I don't understand her pulling out of Singapore Open. It is a Superseries, and has one of the weakest draws as many top players are not playing it. Ratanon, Tai, Nozomi, Carolina are smart in playing it. Saina is in the draw for Bonny masters in China and for Dong Feng Asian Badminton Championships. Saina should get a grip on reality and up her ranking by exploiting weaker draws in tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar cases for Womens Group also. If soumyajit or any of the others qualify ... sharath is almost certain to get in through the world ranking ...he is effectively 39 currently ..................... so it may be better if one of the others qualify but then he cannot pull out as there is a slight chance that he may not get in through the world ranking .................. strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better if someone other than Sharath can get through by that free quota.
