With the world’s top four women’s singles players absent, Carolina Marin has become the top seed in the women’s singles draw at the Hylo Open. Having clinched the title at the Orléans Masters earlier this year, she is now poised to challenge for her second crown of the season.
Following the conclusion of the French Super 750, the German Super 300 Hylo Open commences this week. In the women’s singles event, all top four players are resting. Meanwhile, Chou Tien-chen is the men’s singles top seed. Chinese shuttler Chen Yufei, who defeated Tai Tzu-ying to win the French Open, will both be temporarily sidelined along with her rival. They are scheduled to return at the Kumamoto Masters Japan Super 500 on the 14th of next month. The event will also see the return of world number one An Se-young, who has been injured since the Asian Games, and home favorite Akane Yamaguchi. In the men’s singles, top seed Chou Tien-chen continues his quest for his first title of the year. His first-round opponent is German player Max Weißkirchen. The two have faced each other once before at the Sudirman Cup two years ago, with Chou emerging victorious. User Guidelines for this site: Resist abusive remarks against excellent original content.
