The Men’s Singles draw of the Total BWF World Championships 2015 has finally been revealed, and it promises an exhilarating competition ahead. Defending champion Chen Long, along with his formidable rivals Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei, have landed in separate halves of the draw. Let’s take a closer look at the matchups and potential clashes that await us in this highly anticipated tournament.
A Smooth Path Towards the Quarterfinals
One of the main points of interest around the Men’s Singles draw was whether the unseeded Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia would face any of the strong contenders early on. Fortunately, Lee has been placed in a different half from Chen Long and Lin Dan, ensuring an exciting showdown awaits us in the later stages of the competition. Chen Long, the top seed, seems to have a relatively smooth path to the quarterfinals.

Chen Long is likely to meet the No.16 seed Rajiv Ouseph from England in the third round, followed by a potential clash with the No.7 seed Viktor Axelsen from Denmark in the quarterfinals. Axelsen had previously given Chen a tough time in the final of The Star Australian Open, so Chen will be wary of the young Dane in their potential encounter. On the other hand, Japan’s Kento Momota, seeded fourth, is heading towards a semifinal in the top half if he can overcome challenges from players like India’s Kashyap Parupalli and Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen.
Meanwhile, the second seed Jan O Jorgensen from Denmark faces a difficult draw. He will kick off his campaign against the wily Boonsak Ponsana from Thailand and may have to face the No.9 seed Son Wan Ho from Korea in the third round. If Jorgensen progresses further, he could potentially meet the five-time World champion Lin Dan in the same half, but in a different quarter. Lin Dan’s familiar rival, Lee Chong Wei, will start his journey against Lithuania’s Kestutis Navickas and might face stiff competition from players like Marc Zwiebler from Germany, Wang Zhengming from China, and Kidambi Srikanth from India in the quarterfinals.
Women’s Doubles: A Battle Among Champions
The Women’s Doubles defending champions Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei from China have found themselves in the same quarter as their veteran teammates Yu Yang/Wang Xiaoli. With top seeds Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi from Japan and local hopefuls Greysia Polii/Nitya Krishinda Maheswari also in the same half, we can expect some fireworks in this category. Denmark’s Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter Juhl are in the same quarter as China’s Ma Jin/Tang Yuanting and Korea’s Lee So Hee/Shin Seung Chan. However, the second seeds Luo Ying/Luo Yu from China have a relatively smooth draw and are expected to perform well against opponents like Vivian Hoo/Woon Khe Wei from Malaysia in the third round and Miyuki Maeda/Reika Kakiiwa from Japan in the quarterfinals.

The Mixed Doubles category offers an exciting possibility of a quarterfinal between defending champions Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei from China and longtime rivals Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen from Denmark. The winners of this clash could potentially face Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir from Indonesia, but only after overcoming challenges from strong pairs like Lee Chun Hei/Chau Hoi Wah from Hong Kong and Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na from Korea.
In the bottom half, the second seeds Xu Chen/Ma Jin from China will be eyeing a quarterfinal against fellow countrymen Lu Kai/Huang Yaqiong. However, their compatriots Liu Cheng/Bao Yixin might face a tougher journey as they have to contend with pairs like Chris Adcock/Gabrielle Adcock from England, Riky Widianto/Puspita Richi Dili from Indonesia, and Mads Pieler Kolding/Kamilla Rytter Juhl from Denmark.
