Scottish Champion Susan Hughes recently reached the final of the Belgian Open - now she aims to go one better in this week's Czech International in Prague.

The Commonwealth Games medallist is the No.3 seed and opens the campaign against local girl, Martina Benesova. Her first big test should come against Dutch player Rachel Van Custen in the quarter-finals.

In the men's singles, teenager Kieran Merrilees and former Scottish Champion Gordon Thomson carry the Scottish hopes. They are both in the qualifying event.

Susan is currently ranked No.40 in the world - but has ambitions to get back into the top 25.

Glasgow's Imogen Bankier remains the highest ranked Scottish badminton player at No.13 in the mixed doubles with England's Robert Blair.
