There will be no easy matches and every player here is a champion. ?With only 16 players we have tried to assemble the toughest field possible given the geographical spread required. ?It will be hard to back against the Filipino players in front of what will be huge crowds in Manila, but with the strength in depth of the line-up, they all have a chance.?
