PV Sindhu Leads India at China Open as Satwik-Chirag Skip Due to Injury
PV Sindhu leads India's campaign at the China Open Super 1000 tournament following her historic Japan Open victory, where she defeated Akane Yamaguchi in straight games. Sindhu will start against compatriot Unnati Hooda and may face China's Chen Yu Fei if the latter recovers from a hamstring injury. India's men's doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty are skipping the event to focus on Satwik's shoulder injury recovery ahead of the World Championships. Other Indian players, including Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, and Devika Sihag, are also competing in various draws.
