Thailand’s Kunlavut Vitidsarn and South Korean An Se Young are entering the tournament on the back of India open triumphs in the men’s and women’s singles categories respectively, last week. Top seed Viktor Axelsen of Denmark, who lost the final of the Super 750 tournament on Sunday, has pulled out of the Indonesia Masters due to fitness issues. Therefore Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia will be the top seeded men’s singles player in Jakarta. Meanwhile, Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi, who finished runner up in India , will be the top seeded women’s singles player in Indonesia.
