With the Chinese and Japanese shuttlers giving the tournament a skip, it is likely to be a Saina show this year too. The highest-ranked world player after the three Chinese - Xuerui Li, Shixian Wang and Yihang Wang, she has gone on record to say that she will go all out for her title defence.
"Last year turned out to be a good season for me and I think this is the right tournament to start the year," said Saina.
Switching coaches from Pullella Gopichand to U Vimal Kumar has worked for her last year.
But then, she will guard her flanks against the likes of Carolina Marin and PV Sindhu, the upcoming star from the Gopichand stable. As both Marin and Sindhu are in the other half of the draw, she will get a chance to play any one of them only in the finals.
The men's draw seems heavily loaded in favour of top seed K Srikanth, the last time runnersup. For Srikanth, who had lost the final to Xue Song of China, it had been a dream run last year when he saw his world rankings improve from 40 to four.
Giving him competition will be Viktor Axelsen of Denmark and former India no. 1 Parupalli Kashyap. Axelsen, the World No. 11 has an all-round game.
