Eighth-ranked Christie has reached three consecutive finals (he won the Swiss Open before falling at the last hurdle at the Korea Open and the Asian Badminton Championships) and is the in-form player of the moment.
With fellow singles players Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Shesar Hiren Rhustavito out of form, the Indonesians will also need their doubles pairings of Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan and All England champions Muhammad Shohibul Fikri/Bagas Maulana to step up. The ‘Minions’, Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/
