Badminton World Tour Finals 2021 LIVE, Day 1- Satwik-Chirag loses, Lakshya Sen handed win - Scores, Updates, Results, Live blog
PV Sindhu will be on court soon, let's get ready!
Sindhu has been on a good roll since her Tokyo triumph - making it to a hattrick string of semi-finals at the Hylo Open 2021, the Indonesia Open 2021 and the Indonesia Masters 2021.
Let's see how the former World Tour Finals champ fares in her opening group match!
Back to the World Tour Finals now!
PV Sindhu will be up next in action as she clashes against Denmark's Line Christophersen. Let's take a look!
What is written on Satwik-Chirag's fate?
The dynamic men's doubles duo of Satwik-Chirag are seeded eighth and will have to battle past Lee/Yang in Round 2, Ong/Teo in pre-quarters, and eventually, lock horns against reigning Olympic champions Lee/Wang in the quarters.
Not at all an easy road, here!
What does it look like for Kidambi Srikanth and Sai Praneeth?
Kidambi Srikanth, who is in a good form, is seeded 12th in the tournament and will face-off against youngster Li Shifeng in Round 2 and Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien Chen will await him in the pre-quarters. Not very easy for Srikanth but one can trust his form to carry him forward!
Meanwhile, Sai Praneeth is seeded 14th and has to cross the hurdle of meeting Mark Caljouw in the first round, followed by a moderately easy Round 2 and a potential pre-quarter-final clash against Indonesia's Anthony Ginting. Pretty exciting!
What does it look like for PV Sindhu?
PV Sindhu, seeded sixth, is the defending champion, will face-off against Pornpawee Chochuwong in the pre-quarters, and an exciting meeting with Tai Tzu-ying awaits the 2-time Olympic medallist in the World Championships.
Sindhu will need to tread very carefully to defend her crown.
