14 players will contest the Men’s Singles in Turkey, including wildcard Hirona Sudo from Japan. Top 2 seeds, Leon Griffiths and Sylvain Ternon have byes through to the quarter finals, whilst all other players must play in round 1.
The pick of round 1 is Andreas Kotala vs. Malte Thyregod, ranked 24 and 23 in the world respectively.
The Women’s Singles will be a 5-player box, featuring 4 top 10 players. Anna-Klara Ahlmer & Myriam Enmer have both won singles titles already in 2025. Can they add another by Sunday?
But the action starts today with the doubles categories.
In the Men’s Doubles, Bastian Böhm & Leon Griffiths are tipped to win. Nicolas Lenggenhager & Malte Thyregod is an intriguing combination. Typically players find a partner who is strong in another sport, but Nico & Malte are both badminton players. Let’s see how they go!
The Women’s Doubles features the same 5 women from the singles, plus Elif Wong from Hong Kong, who will team up with Katherine Serrano from Spain. Anna-Klara Ahlmer & Myriam Enmer are likely to be too strong. Although Kirsten I. Kaptein & Adeline Kilchenmann will be tough to beat.
The most wide open doubles draw is certainly the Mixed Doubles. Doubles partners become enemies as Anna-Klara Ahlmer & Malte Thyregod take on Myriam Enmer & Nicolas Lenggenhager. On the other side of the draw are top seeds, Adeline Kilchenmann & Bastian Böhm, are playing Katherine Serrano & Stefan Urban.
