Ponsana, who has made it to six Superseries finals and won twice, was sidelined with an ankle injury halfway last season and dropped in the rankings from as high as number 4. After the extended two-month break before the new season, Ponsana said the ankle was fine now and he anticipated a great comeback starting at the sport’s oldest tournament.
