Print Edition
World No. 1 Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong of China are running for their only missing major title in mixed doubles despite being drawn into a tricky group at the draw ceremony of the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2019 held in Guangzhou yesterday.
The Chinese duo will meet three tough pairs in Group B: Indonesia’s Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti, Hafiz Faizal/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja, and Japanese Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino. “We are satisfied with the draw since the two Chinese pairs are in different groups,” said Zheng, as their compatriots and defending champions Wang Yilu and Huang Dongping are in Group A. “We have lost to the three pairs in the past, and they are all playing well. We will treat each match like a final. We’re confident of winning the title,” he added. In men’s singles, two-time world champion Kento Momota of Japan will compete with Indonesia’s Jonatan Christie, Wang Tzu-wei of Chinese Taipei and Anders Antonsen of Denmark in Group A, while home favorite Chen Long is in the “group of death” with Chou Tien-chen of Chinese Taipei, Viktor Axelsen of Denmark and Indonesia’s Anthony Ginting. In women’s singles, Chinese ace Chen Yufei will reckon with defending champion Pusarla V Sindhu of India, Akane Yamaguchi from Japan and compatriot He Bingjiao.
