While Indonesia is favored to top their group, there are concerns about their singles players’ consistency. Jonatan Christie has been the standout performer this season, reaching three consecutive finals. However, his compatriots Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Shesar Hiren Rhustavito have struggled to find their form. As Indonesia enters the knockout rounds, their singles performances will be closely scrutinized.
Korea and Thailand: Dark Horses
Korea and Thailand are teams to keep an eye on in this tournament. Jeon Hyeok Jin’s recent victory at the Korea Masters and the promising new doubles combination of Kang Min Hyuk and Seo Seung Jae have given Korea some positive momentum. Thailand, on the other hand, will heavily rely on Kunlavut Vitidsarn in their campaign. Missing several key doubles players, Thailand faces an uphill battle to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

As the top seeds in the women’s competition, Japan comes into the tournament with high expectations. Spearheaded by the in-form Akane Yamaguchi, they have a solid chance at clinching the title. However, the retirement of Nozomi Okuhara from her first round match at the Asian Championships raises some concerns. Nevertheless, Japan possesses talented players such as Saena Kawakami and world junior champion Riko Gunji, providing depth in both singles and doubles.
The Battle for Second
The fight for second place in their respective groups will be intense between Indonesia, France, and Germany. Germany’s Yvonne Li and pairs Linda Efler/Isabel Lohau and Stine Kuspert/Annabella Jaeger will aim to surpass expectations. France can rely on Qi Xuefei and Leonice Huet in singles, as well as the doubles duo of Anne Tran and Margot Lambert. For Indonesia, the challenge will be to fend off the German and French teams without some of their top players. Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi’s impressive performance against Akane Yamaguchi at the Badminton Asia Championships offers hope for a memorable campaign in Bangkok.
