PV Sindhu has been given a generally decent draw on paper for the BWF World Tour Finals while Lakshya Sen, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have an intense draw in their hands as the competition starts on Wednesday in Bali with the group play.
Sindhu is put alongside Thailand’s Pornpawee Chochuwong, Germany’s Yvonne Li and Denmark’s Line Christophersen. While in-structure Chochuwong begins as the leaned toward player in the group.
PV Sindhu has a positive record against every one of the three players. She has stayed away from both A Seyoung and Akane Yamaguchi in her group, the two most in-formplayers in women’s singles right now.
Srikanth Kidambi has been hollowed close by All England champion Lee Zii Jia, Thailand’s rising star Kunlavut Vitidsarn and France’s Toma Junior Popov. While Malaysia’s Lee beginnings as the mind-boggling top choice here, on paper, the previous world No 1 from India has been given a decent attract to advance to the elimination rounds.
India’s very first men’s doubles matching at the event, Satwik-Chirag face world No 1 Marcus Gideon-Kevin Sukamuljo, Kim Astrup-Anders Rasmussen and Olympic winners Lee Yang-Wang Chi Lin in their group.
The Indonesians, known as Minions, have a 10-0 record against the Indian pair who, then again, crushed Tokyo 2020 champs Lee and Wang in the group stage at the Olympics.
In women’s doubles Ashwini Ponnappa and N Sikki Reddy are in same group as Nami Matsuyama-Chiharu Shida, Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva, Chloe Birch and Lauren Smith.
The main two players/sets from each gathering will continue to the knockout.
It will be the best ever portrayal for India at the year-end competition with upwards of seven of them qualifying for the $150,000 occasion.
