The star-studded biennial badminton showdown is looking good for top Indian shuttlers as it was a very pleasant day of victories on Day 3 of the event. Satwik-Chirag, Lakshya Sen, Kidambi Srikanth, and defending World Champion, PV Sindhu got off to winning starts to their campaign in Huelva, Spain.
To keep this winning momentum going, we have three matches lined up today in quick succession - HS Prannoy will take on Malaysia's Liew Daren in the Men's Singles while the Men's Doubles duo of Dhruv Kapila and MR Arjun will face-off against the Russian pair of, Vladimir Ivanov-Ivan Sozonov, the eleventh seeds and in the other match, the Women's Doubles will see Ashwini Ponnappa-N Sikki Reddy taking on the fourteenth seeded Chinese duo of Liu Xuan Xuan-Xia Yu Ting.

A very good afternoon - we hope the winter sun is keeping you warm otherwise we have badminton action to do that as well!
We understand completely if you are not yet over yesterday where you had to multi-task and watch three Indians on the court parallelly, at the same time, locked in such thriller encounters, while worrying ahead about another as well! It was a packed day yesterday and it was a bit hectic on the nerves too!
A light schedule on our plate today but an equally thrilling one!
