The All England Open Badminton Championships gets underway at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on Wednesday, March 16. World and Olympic champions will join India’s top players to compete in singles and doubles matches. India will be represented by star shuttlers like PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, Saina Nehwal, Kidambi Srikanth, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty among others all making headway for the five-day mega event.
Sen, who had a stunning run at the German Open 2022, will be one to watch out for. While Sindhu’s form is a little scratchy but hopefully, the two-time Olympic medallist will be aiming for her maiden All England Open crown. Having reached the women’s singles semi-finals twice in 2018 and 2021, it is the only major title missing from Sindhu’s cabinet.
Players will be looking forward to the return of fans after the 2021 edition was played behind closed doors because of Covid-19 restrictions.
