While there were six Americans competing in Malaysia last week only one of those players is still around competing the Singapore Open. Beinwen Zhang, who had to play the #6 seed last week and lost 21-8, 21-14, will be taking part in the women’s singles competition. She has a much better chance to advance for the second time this year as her opponent, Aya Ohori of Japan, is below her in the world rankings. The two have never met.

Zhang was to meet #4 seed Saina Nehwal of India but she withdrew from the tournament to rest. Zhang has the potential now to reach the quarterfinals without facing a seeded opponent. Zhang’s match is decently late in the day in Singapore and is set for 7:40 AM ET Wednesday morning in the US.
