Korea Open Super: Searching for rhythm in a season marked by inconsistency, H.S. Prannoy will spearhead India’s campaign at the USD 475,000 Korea Open Super 500 badminton tournament starting Tuesday. Alongside him, rising star Ayush Shetty will look to extend his breakthrough run on the BWF circuit.

With doubles stalwarts Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty — finalists at the Hong Kong and China Masters — opting to skip the event, the spotlight shifts firmly onto India’s singles contingent.

Prannoy, a bronze medallist at the 2023 World Championships, has endured a run of early exits this season. Yet, the 32-year-old remains a formidable competitor, consistently dragging matches into deciders.
