[Saba Sports News] The Thailand Badminton Open is set to begin this week, but a surprising incident occurred before the games. The Badminton World Federation decided to redraw lots due to several players suffering new injuries or experiencing fatigue after the Thomas and Uber Cup. Many of the world’s top players chose to withdraw from the competition, leading to the need for a redraw. However, the new result of the redraw caused controversy, particularly among Chinese players who ended up facing each other. Some believe that the redraw was an attempt to prevent the Chinese team, which recently won the Thomas and Uber Cup in Chengdu, from dominating the championships once again, following their earlier victory in the Sudirman Cup. This has led to speculation among conspiracy theorists.
