Singapore Open begins on Tuesday with India’s top badminton stars aiming for a strong start in the crucial BWF Super 750 tournament.
Former world champion PV Sindhu returns to action after skipping the Malaysia Masters and faces Indonesia’s Putri Kusuma Wardani in a challenging opening-round clash. India’s men’s singles hopes rest on Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, and Kidambi Srikanth, who are looking to bounce back after recent struggles. In doubles, fourth-seeded pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty remain India’s strongest medal hopes.
With Olympic qualification points at stake, the tournament presents a major opportunity for Indian shuttlers to gain momentum against a world-class field.
