Indian Open Badminton: China's Shi Yuqi and Chen Yufei pull out on medical grounds, P.V. Sindhu and Viktor Axelsen new favourites

The Hindu  

In a late development, the Indian Open badminton championship suffered a serious loss of sheen when World No. 2 and top seeds in singles, Shi Yuqi and Chen Yufei withdrew citing medical grounds. Shi Yuqi, the 2018 World championship runner-up, is also the defending men’s champion. In the absence of the highest world-ranked Chinese singles players, P. V. Sindhu becomes the ranking favourite for the women’s crown, much like the 2017 World champion Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen, in the men’s singles.
