Hong Kong Open Super: India’s top shuttlers are set for another big week as the Hong Kong Open Super 500 begins on Tuesday, with Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty once again leading the charge following their bronze medal finish at the World Championships in Paris.

Currently ranked world No. 3, the duo have been India’s most reliable performers on the BWF Tour this season, registering multiple semifinal finishes across India, Malaysia, China and Singapore. Seeded eighth here, they start against Chinese Taipei’s Chiu Hsiang Chieh and Wang Chi-Lin.

Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, who showed flashes of her best form with a commanding win over China’s Wang Zhi Yi at the Worlds before falling in the quarterfinals, opens her campaign against Denmark’s Line Christophersen.
