The athletes' readiness is announced at a press conference at Sultan Hotel, Monday (1/6). China's player Zhao Yun Lei said it is pleasant to be back at Istora stadium.
After winning a title in women's doubles category last season, she who was playing with Zhang Nan in the tournament last season lost from Indonesian pair, Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo/Greysia Polii. She hopes this year she can perform better in the category.
"I am very happy to be back here (Indonesia). I hope I can achieve better result," said Zao Yun Lei the women's doubles title defender who played with Tian Qing last year.
In the first mixed doubles round, the first seeded Zhao Yun Lei/Zhang Nan will face South Korea's Yoo Yeon Seong/Chang Ye Na. If they can grab a victory, they face Indonesia's mixed doubles Edi Subaktiar/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaya in the second round.
"All opponents are tough. I hope I am able to get a good result. The Indonesia's seeded (Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir) will be our big challenge," she stated.
Meanwhile, South Korea's Yoo Yeon Seong appraises the annual BCA Indonesia Open Superseries Premier 2015 as the prestigious tournament. "It is all about rivalry. Focus from the beginning whoever the opponent is."
Indonesia's Markus Fernaldi Gideon also sets a high standard. After winning from China's pair with Greysia Polii last year, he hopes he can repeat the last year's success.
Playing in the men's doubles category together with his partner Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, he will take on the first qualifying round winner. The third seeded in men's doubles addressed that his compatriots, Hendra Setiawan/Mohamad Ahsan, as the most threatening.
