After a month-long break, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour will resume on March 7 when German Open, a Super 300 category tournament, gets underway in Mulheim. The final will be played on March 12.
The event will mark the return of shuttlers to the World Tour, who represented their nations in their continental mixed team championships.
Top shuttlers, including world no. 1 Akane Yamaguchi and Lakshya Sen, will be competing in the event to warm themselves up ahead of the prestigious All-England Open Championships.
Lakshya, Kidambi Srikanth and Mithun Manjunath, the recently crowned national champion, will be shouldering Indian hopes in men’s singles. In the opening round, Lakshya will face Christo Popov, while Srikanth will take on Lu Guang Zu. Mithun, meanwhile, will play world no. 8 Loh Kean Yew.
Malvika Bansod and Saina Nehwal are the Indian hopes in women’s singles. The mixed doubles pairing of B. Sumeeth Reddy and Ashwini Ponnappa is the only Indian representation in doubles.
Malvika will confront Japanese Aya Ohori, while Saina will take on Wen Chihsu of Chinese Taipei.
The top women’s doubles duo of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand gave the tournament a miss, while Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will be missing the event as Satwik is still recovering from his hip injury.
