The third men’s singles qualifying pool will be composed of China’s Weng Hong Yang, Myanmar’s Phone Pyae Naing, and Maldives’ Hussein Zayan Shaheed.

For the women’s side, Mika De Guzman takes on Malaysia’s Myisha Mohd Khairui and Indonesia’s Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi in Group D. Jaja Andres, meanwhile, faces Indonesia’s Stephanie Widjaya and Maldives’ Fathirmath Nabaaha Abdul Razzaq in Group B.

“This is a huge opportunity for us to compete against some of the world’s best players heading into the Southeast Asian Games,” said De Guzman. “Definitely we will do our best to win and learn from our opponents.”

“We are excited to be part of this tournament since we have only competed in two local tournaments prior to this,” added Albo.

A simple opening ceremony will also be held at 2:00PM followed by the round of 32 of the men’s and mixed doubles events.
