First seeded mix doubles, Tantowi Ahmad/Lilyana Natsir will take on second seeded, Chen Hung Ling/Cheng Wen Hsing in Sunday's Kumpoo macau open, looking to win at the US$200,000 Macau Open 2011.

Tantowi Ahmad/Lilyana Natsir booked his place by downing Thailand’s Sudket Prapakamol-Saralee Thoungthongkam 21-17, 21-11 to set up against Chen Hung Ling-Cheng Wen Hsing, who who were surprise winners of the Yonex Open Japan Superseries last month, had booked their tickets to the final by beating Indonesians Muhammad Rijal-Debby Susanto 18-21, 21-14, 21-14.

Their unfortunate decision to withdraw means world No. 4s Tontowi-Liliyana will take home the mixed doubles crown. It is their fourth Open title and fifth overall of the year – they won the SEA Games gold medal last month.

The Indonesian pair, who joined forces last year, made waves earlier this year when they won three tournaments back-to-back to shoot up the world rankings.

They first made their mark at the India Open where they defeated teammates Fran Kurniawan-Pia Zebadiah Bern 21-18, 23-21, to claim their first OSIM BWF World Superseries title as partners.

That was their last final before the SEA Games last month. They appear to be coming back into form, which will certainly liven up the BWF World Superseries Finals, which will be held at Liu Zhou, China, from Dec 14-18, where the best eight pairs in the world will do battle for the prestigious title.

TWO-TIMES Yonex Scottish National men's doubles champions Jamie Neill and Keith Turnbull will be keen to make their mark at the Scottish International Championships, starting at the Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena a week tomorrow (Wed, Nov 23).

And they were today given a great incentive to make an immediate impact when the draw paired them against rising Scotland star Paul Van Rietvelde and England's Ben Stawski, the recent Turkish International winners, in the opening round on the Thursday.

Scotland's other doubles hopes Martin Campbell and Angus Gilmour, who narrowly missed out on a seeding in the doubles, face a tough opening test against Austria's fourth seeds Juergen Koch and Peter Zauner.

Russia's top seeds Vladimir Ivanov and Ivan Sozonov start against Taipei's Lin Yu Hsien and Germany's Kai Waldenberger.

Peter Mills and Marcus Ellis, England's defending champions, are only seeded sixth and must face New Zealand's Kevin Dennerly-Mintum and Oliver Leydon-Davis in the first round. Their first real test should come against Koch and Zauner.

In the men's singles Rajiv Ouseph is out to recapture the title he won in 2008. The four-times English National champion and Commonwealth silver medallist, starts his bid against Germany's Richard Domke. But his first real test should come against old rival Scott Evans, the 12th seed from Ireland.

England are also out to recapture the women's singles with 2008 winner and 2010 runner-up Elizabeth Cann seeded fourth and opening with a bye before meeting either Scotland's Commonwealth Youth Games bronze medallist Kirsty Gilmour or England's Kate Robertshaw. This is the result of a second re-draw of the women's singles owing to technical problems with the draw mechanism.

But the title favourite is Bulgaria's Linda Zechiri. The top seed begins her bid in the second round against England's Sarah Walker or Finland's Nanna Vainio.

Zechiri is seeded to meet Larisa Griga in the final but the Ukraine player's first test is a second-round clash with Sabrina Jaquet if the Swiss player comes through her opening contest against Scotland's Marlene Kay.

In the women's doubles Mariana Agathangelou and Heather Olver will be out to improve on last year's runners-up spot. Agathangelou won the 2008 title with Scotland's Jillie Cooper and her main threat next week with Olver will be Sweden's second seeds Emelie Lennartsson and Emma Wengberg, who were runners-up in 2008. Both pairs start with first-round byes.

One outside pair to watch for is the Anglo-Malaysian partnership of Sara Milne and Anita Rauj Kaur, who start against England's Hayley Rogers and Helena Lewczynska.

In the mixed doubles Poland's Wojciech Szkudlarczyk and Agnieszka Wojtkowska are the pair to beat and they open up against Scotland’s Jakob van den Berg and Fiona Bain, while Scotland fans will be eager to see Watson Briggs back in action after his absence from the game. He partners Cooper in a first-round clash with France's Sylvain Grosjean and Emilie Lefel.

Switzerland's Anthony Dumartheray and Sabrina Jaquet are the second seeds and open their title bid against Sam Dobson and Emily Westwood in an event won last year by Scotland's Imogen Bankier and England's Chris Adcock when the Anglo-Scottish pair lifted their first title together.

Anne Smillie, Chief Executive of BADMINTONscotland, said today: "The draw has been quite tough on Scotland players but that's only to be expected in this Olympic qualifying period and with so many players from all over the world chasing vital ranking points in the race to qualify.
