Following PV Sindhu's recent victory at the Japan Open, the Indian shuttler will aim to capitalize on her newfound momentum as she spearheads India's efforts at the China Open 2026 badminton tournament, which begins from July 21, Tuesday.
The two-time Olympic medallist enters the China Open on the back of her triumph over three-time world champion Akane Yamaguchi, which marked the end of her nearly two-year title drought in Japan just last week.
The 31-year-old will want to repeat the heroics of her 2016 triumph at the very same tournament and will be eager to maintain her dominant performance in the People's Republic of China.
In the men's category sees Paris 2024 semi-finalists Lakshya Sen, world No. 24 Ayush Shetty, and HS Prannoy lead the charge.
In the men's doubles event, MR Arjun and Hariharan Amsakarunan stand as the only representatives from India. Asian Games champions Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty pulled out at the last minute, as Satwik still looks to recover from his shoulder injury that affected their return at the Japan Open last week.
