Danish Jan O. Jorgensen (VOLTRIC 80 E-tune, SHBSC6iEX) made a flying start in men’s singles, securing a victory in his opening match against Hong Kong’s Hu Yun (NANORAY 750, SHBF1NLTD). The Dane exhibited ferocious offence in game 1, piling pressure upon the World No. 13. The second game saw both sides match each other in offensive strength, but Jan managed to get the edge over Yun, winning at 21-10 23-21. Fellow Dane Viktor Axelsen (ARCSABER 11, SHB-87EX) also dazzled on the court against Chou Tien Chen (VOLTRIC Z-FORCE, SHB02LTD), sealing his first match at 21-8 21-16. Kento Momota (VOLTRIC Z-FORCE Ⅱ) impressed in his opening match as well, securing a confident 21-13 21-13 win over K. Srikanth.

In women’s singles Carolina Marin (NANORAY Z-SPEED, SHB-02LX) scored her first-day win against Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying at 21-16 21-9. Game one saw the two tied at 16-16, and an extended rally for the 17th point proved to be match’s pivotal turning point. As the 2-time world champion continued to intensify her on-court offensive, Tzu Ying’s errors only kept increasing, putting the match into the hands of the Spaniard. Ratchanok Intanon (VOLTRIC 70 E-tune, SHB-02LX) gave it her all to overtake World No. 4 Sung Ji Hyun, getting the best over the Korean in three intense games. Game three would see Ratchanok seize command over the match, closing out game three by a significant margin. The final score came to 19-21 23-21 21-14.
