Welcome to Day 3 - lot of badminton action on our plates and some bummer of a news as well!

Good morning and welcome to Day 3 of the India Open 2022. Before we begin our coverage for the day, we'd like to inform that 7 Indian players - including Kidambi Srikanth and Ashwini Ponnappa have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, mid-tournament and have decided to withdraw. They will not be replaced by anyone else at this stage.
