NEW DELHI: India’s highest ranked males’s singles shuttler, Lakshya Sen has acquired a tricky opening spherical on the World Championship because the Badminton World Federation (BWF) introduced the attracts at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur for the celebrated annual competitors on Wednesday.
The world No.21 will tackle prime seed and reigning All England champion Shi Yu Qi of China within the first spherical towards whom Sen has a 1-3 report.
The one Indian to medal (bronze) on the final World Championships in 2023, HS Prannoy will tackle Finland’s Jaokim Oldorff within the opener, in what will probably be a primary assembly between the 2.
The one Indian in ladies’s singles, fifteenth seed PV Sindhu will open towards Bulgarian Kaloyana Nalbantova. The previous world champion is predicted to simply make the third spherical the place she’s going to doubtless face world No.2 Wang Zhi Yi of China towards whom the double Olympic medallist has a 2-2 report.
As is the case in most tournaments of late, India’s finest wager would be the males’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty who’ve acquired a primary spherical bye. The ninth seeds will tackle the winner of the match between compatriots Hariharan Amsakarunan/Ruban Kumar Rethinasabapathi and Chinese language Taipei’s Liu Kuang Heng/Yang Po Han in Spherical 2.
However the prime Indian pair will doubtless run into Paris Olympics silver medallists Liang Wei Keng/Wang Chang of China towards whom Rankireddy/Shetty have an unimpressive 2-6 head-to-head.
Because of the pull out of twelfth seeds Treesa Jolly/P Gayatri Gopichand, India will probably be represented by Priya Konjengbam/Shruti Mishra and Rutaparna and Swetaparna Panda in ladies’s doubles.
In combined doubles, sixteenth seeds Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto have acquired a primary spherical bye. The opposite Indian pair in motion will probably be Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde.
