The 2024 Arctic Open Badminton tournament is being held this week at the Energia Areena in Vantaa, Finland. The men’s singles runs from Wednesday 9th to Sunday 13th.

What? 2024 Arctic Open Badminton
Where? Energia Areena in Vantaa, Finland
When? Wednesday, October 9 to Sunday, October 13

Anders Antonsen v Alex Lanier

This is the match of the first round and is set to be a thriller. Antonsen is one of the world’s best players and is ranked number 3. Lanier is an up and coming superstar of badminton. The 19 year old has already climbed to world number 22 and his trajectory is only going one way.

In August, Lanier won the Japan Open in fine fashion, beating some of the world’s best players. Before that, he reached the final of the Canada Open. However, he has been out of action since a disappointing first round exit at the Korea Open at the end of August.

The odds suggest it should be comfortable for Antonsen. He is worth including in a parlay bet.

Anthony Ginting v Guang Zu Lu

Badminton Arctic Open
Anthony Ginting	-235	-255	-235
Guang Zu Lu	+185	+175	+185

World number 10 Ginting should have enough to beat the world number 17 Lu. I am expecting a win for the Indonesian. Guang has been eliminated at the first round stage of his previous two tournaments. However, before that he won the prestigious Korea Open, beating a number of top class players on the way.

Lan Xi Lei v Yushi Tanaka

These two are fairly evenly matched but Lei has been in much better form. The world number 23 reached the quarter final of the China Open, losing to world number 7 Jonatan Christie. Before that, he made it all the way to the final of the Hong Kong Open, beating a host of players above him in the rankings before eventually falling to the exceptional Viktor Axelsen.

Tanaka is a good professional and world number 30 but his form is very underwhelming. He exited at the first round stage in the China Open, Hong Kong Open and Korea Open. Tanaka will take confidence knowing he beat his opponent when they met at the US Open in June.

Li Yang Su v Kenta Nishimoto

Despite being a bit off form, I expect Nishimoto to win this match comfortably against world number 37, Li Yang Su. Su has barely been able to make it past the opening couple of rounds all year. Nishimoto hasn’t set the world alight either this year but he is usually a safe bet in the first round of tournaments.
