Syed Modi International: Sameer Verma eyes tiny window to qualify for BWF World Tour Final; Saina Nehwal starts as favourite

Firstpost  

If Sameer Verma defends his title, his point’s tally will rise to 66,620, which would put him in a good position to qualify for the BWF World Tour Final. However, defending champion Sameer Verma will not be short of motivation when he takes the court at Lucknow’s Babu Banarasi Das Stadium on Wednesday, to launch his campaign at the 2018 Syed Modi International World Tour Super 300 badminton championships. It is not so much the monetary prize in the $150,000 tournament that the 24-year-old Dhar native will be gunning for, as the 7,000 circuit points on offer to the eventual champion, that would help him move from his current 12th spot into the top eight who will qualify for the season-ending $1.5 million World Tour Final in Guangzhou, China. The World Tour rankings, for the week that ended on 15 November, had Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei, the most consistent player in 2018 with three World Tour titles and three runner-up spots, perched comfortably at the top of the list with 94,670 points, followed by Japan’s Kento Momota in second place with 79,950 points.
