Chiyo Shida/Nami Matsuyama, who are second seeds, had a chance to compete for the title, but they decided to withdraw. Foreign media reports pointed out that the reason for the withdrawal of the Japanese team is reported to be because Matsuyama did not suffer a back injury.

Chiyo Shida/Naomi Matsuyama, currently ranked No. 2 in the world, won the year-end tournament at the end of the year with bronze at the Paris Olympics last year, and have won the All England Open this season and the silver medal at the Asian Championships.

Nami Matsuyama and Chiyo Shida face India's Anruta and Sunali in the first round of Women's Doubles. After Anruta and Sunali advanced to the Women's Doubles round of 16 without a fight, they will face India's Vaisina and Alyssa or Australia's Kang Rongya and Yu Yajie.
