First Stage: 2 to 3 July 2019 | Main Event: 4 to 7 July 2019
- ML and FZD in the same half again (not same quarter!)
- Can Falck regain the promise shown during the WTTC two months ago?
- Unfortunate for the host nation but Jeong & Jang will likely meet during the round of 16
- Repeat of YOG? Chances are rising superstars Lin and Harimoto will face off during the QF
- Following a series of defeats to Japanese rivals recently, DN's luck seems to have turned
- Meanwhile, a repeat of the Japan Open finals seems set as LSW and SYS will likely meet again during the round of 16
- Revenge for Ito? She is allotted into the same quarter as WMY whom she had lost to during HK Open
- Hirano is showing signs of improvement but will that be enough to take down CNT's new trump card CM?
- Everything's possible nowadays with ZYL so all eyes are on Doo to pull another 'upset'
- KokiKazu/NiwaMoto make their first appearance on the international stage but will their journey end earlier than expected with experienced duo Jeong/Lee in the same quarter as them?
- Potential Swedish doubles for the Olympics? After Falck and Persson, Karlsson now pairs Kallberg
- XX/FZD looks like the favourites here but another seasoned partnership Ho/Wong awaits them
- The resurgence of CNT's 'golden pairing' DN/LSW and possibly one of the favourites to win but have they grown rusty following a period of inactivity
- With WMY/CM in the same half as the above, at least one WD's medal will not go to China
- Korea breaks up longstanding partners Jeon/Yang and gives them a junior each to lead but the degree of success remains to be seen
- Possibly one of the best XD line-ups as the world's strongest XD pairs have all gathered here (save for maybe Franziska/Solja)
