Do we know who is playing in it?
The WTT website has no players in the playerlist currently.

I wonder if ZYL is retired (or forced to retire) from international play. She's technically ranked one spot higher than LSW, but LSW was chosen instead of her to attend the Singapore Smash.

Laat I read about ZYL was her struggling with disease; I’ve seen no news since.

Singapore Smash-2022: Where To Watch - Singapore Smash 2022

Im already looking forward to the camera angle /s

Camera angle is great!

 

[bzing]

What made the organizers of these events finally come to understanding and have a change of heart and give people the corner camera angle? I'm really surprised. I've just watched one of the matches and the angle is really perfect now. I just wonder what made them come to this realization after such a long time of people complaining in the comments for such a long time, after almost two years and only change it now to what people want.

 

[yoass]

I want the camera angle complaints back!

 

[M51]

Can't believe they actually listened.

 

[bzing]

It definitely gives you a better impression as if you were actually there, only wish the quality was better. But I also hope they'll never come back to the awful side angle.

[size=+3]The mastership we lost. Sorry.[/size]

 

[Shine]

Can't wait for the main draw, Exciting matches!!! 🔥🔥😁

 

[Colin Ksh]

The main draw is out guys

 

[Dream2K]

Why is Shidong in the main draw? Did he substitute for Dima?

He was given a wildcard as was Xiang Peng, He Zhuojia, and Kuai Man.

but Peng had to qualify while Shidong did not.

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

but Peng had to qualify while Shidong did not.

It's a bit strange, but as host nation, Singapore is allowed up to 10 additional wildcards per gender. Not sure how LSD was chosen for main draw, but I guess that's what they've decided. See the tail end of this article for the wildcard spots: https://circle.myactivesg.com/stori...-players-at-the-wtt-singapore-smash?hsLang=en

It would be soooooooo soooooo cool, if the type of equipment is also included in the user profile in the WTT website.

It would be every EJ's dream.
