Zhang, winner in 2014, nearly re-accomplished that feat last year, but fell in a thrilling 72-minute final to Natsuki Nidaira, 24-22 in the third game.
The top seed, currently ranked No.21, will fancy her chances of topping the podium this time, with her top challengers likely to be No.2 Nguyen Thuy Linh and No.8 seed Nozomi Okuhara.
In men’s singles, former No.1 Kidambi Srikanth will seek to maintain the upswing in his recent fortunes.
