The India Open 2022 got underway on Tuesday, January 11 with the likes of PV Sindhu playing on the first day of the tournament. It is being held at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall at the Indira Gandhi Stadium, in New Delhi. The 11th edition of the BWF Tour Super 500 Series tournament marked a return after a two-year break due to COVID-19 pandemic.
On Tuesday, Ashmita Chaliha sprang a good surprise when she beat fifth seed and World number 28 Evgeniya Kosetskaya of Russia in straight sets in the opening round. Men’s doubles top seeds Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan got their campaign off to a winning start by beating Prem Singh Chouhan and Rajesh Verma 21-18, 21-10.
Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth also got off to winning starts as the former beat compatriot Sri Krishna Priya Kudaravalli 21-5, 21-16 in just 27 minutes while Srikanth triumphed over Siril Verma 21-17, 21-10 in the first round.
The 24-year-old Loh Kean Yew of Singapore survived an early scare to beat Canada’s Sheng Xiaodong 16-21, 21-4, 21-13.
Indian shuttlers B. Sai Praneeth and Dhruv Rawat have pulled out of the tournament after testing COVID-19 positive.
