Return of badminton: Kidambi Srikanth, Lakshya Sen to begin title hunt at Denmark Open

India TV News  

Olympic hopeful Kidambi Srikanth and fast-rising Lakshya Sen will look to strike the right note from the word go as they return to competitive badminton at the $750,000 Denmark Open, which will re-start the calender after a COVID-19 forced seven-month hiatus. Former world no 1 Srikanth, who had claimed the Denmark title three years back, had been battling a series of injuries and indifferent form in the last couple of years and the COVID-19 enforced break helped him to work on his body and game. Lakshya, on the other hand, had been on a title-winning spree last year, claiming as many as five titles, including two BWF World Tour Super 100 top honours — SaarLorLux Open and Dutch Open — to zoom to 32nd in the international standings. Denmark Open is the only tournament to be held this year with BWF forced to move the World Tour Finals and the two Asia opens to Bangkok in January next year.
