All England Championships 2020: Tough draws for PV Sindhu, Saina Nehwal amidst reduced participation in tournament with coronavirus threat

Firstpost  

Reigning world champion PV Sindhu will lead a substantially truncated Indian squad to the prestigious All England Badminton Championships that get under way at the Arena Birmingham on Wednesday. The lissome 24-year-old Indian carries a wafer-thin 5-4 head-to-head advantage against Zhang, whom she had beaten comprehensively by a 21-14, 21-6 scoreline in Basel on her way to the world title, but to whom she lost narrowly at the Korean Open by a 21-7, 22-24, 15-21 margin, after holding a match-point in the second game of their extended battle, barely a month after the 2019 World Championships. The 27-year-old Guntur lad, who lost at the quarter-final stage to eventual champion Momota at last year’s championships, has a 2-6 record against the lanky Chinese star, although the most recent meeting between the two ended in a 21-13, 0-0 result in favour of the Indian at the Hong Kong Open last November. But the sole women’s doubles team of Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy has a chance to progress at least to the second round, for they take on the none-too-formidable Australian pair of Gronya Somerville and Setyana Mapasa, before they possibly cross swords with the former World no 1 duo of Ayaka Takahashi and Misaki Matsutomo, seeded seventh this time.
