The final draws for all the categories for the Dubai World SuperSeries Finals have been completed.
World No. 3 Pusarla Sindhu has been drawn in the Group A of the Women's Group Stage and will be expected to cruise through to the semi-finals. The draw for the Indian ace seems a favorable one and Sindhu is one of the favorites to clinch the title in Dubai as rivals Carolina Marin and Nozomi Okuhara have withdrawn from the Superseries Finals.
In the Men's Singles category, Kidambi Srikanth, who rose to the World No.4 ranking this year and was seeded 2nd today, on account of his four Super Series victories will be raring to go having recovered from his injury recently. Srikanth has been drawn alongside Viktor Axelson who is the current World No.1 but Srikanth has been in good form coming into the tournament and will be expected to make the semis easily. The other group has former World No.1 players Chen Long and Lee-Chong Wei and the Men's semis will be an exciting affair if the four favorites are through.
Indian Ace Shuttler and World No.4 Kidambi Srikanth has been drawn in Group B alongside last year's Dubai Superseries Finals champion and World No.1 Viktor Axelsen from Denmark.
Group A 1. Son Wan Ho 2. Lee Chong Wei 3. Ng Ka Long Angus 4. Chen Long
