High hopes, tricky draws await home shuttlers

India Open 2026 kicks off

India's top shuttlers, including P V Sindhu and Lakshay Sen, will look to convert recent form into results on home courts when the USD 950,000 India Open Super 750 begins here Tuesday.

Indian players, however, have struggled to fully capitalise on home advantage, with only a handful of them lifting the title in the last 15 years.

The draw will once again throw up early challenges for the home contingent, including a marquee all-Indian men's singles opener between Sen and Ayush Shetty, while Sindhu begins against Vietnam's Nguyen Thuy Linh.

Sindhu, a 2017 champion, comes into the Delhi leg on the back of a confidence-boosting run at the Malaysia Open Super 1000, where she reached the semifinals before losing to China's Wang Zhiyi.
