BWF China Open 2019: PV Sindhu eyes World Championship redux, Indian contingent looks to turn around dismal season

Firstpost  

For India, PV Sindhu remains the best bet for a podium finish as both HS Prannoy and Kidambi Srikanth have withdrawn due to injuries The build-up to next year’s Tokyo Olympics toughens up this month with the China Open, which runs from 17 to 22 September, followed by the Korea Open, which will start two days later on 24 September. Men’s singles HS Prannoy had marked his return to the court — after a gut infection — at the World Championships with an inspiring win against Chinese great Lin Dan in the second round before losing in straight games against top-seeded Japanese Kento Momota. Srikanth and Prannoy’s withdrawal from the China Open leaves three Indians in the men’s singles draw, B Sai Praneeth, Parupalli Kashyap and Sameer Verma. However, the Indian fifth seed has been handed a tricky draw with her first-round opponent being China’s Li Xuerui, a former Olympic gold medallist and World No 1.
