HS Prannoy Leads Indian Challenge at Korea Open After Lakshya Sen Withdrawal
Lakshya Sen, the newly-crowned Hylo Open champion, has withdrawn from the Korea Open badminton tournament, leaving HS Prannoy to lead India's men's singles campaign at the USD 500,000 Super 500 event in Yeosu, South Korea. Prannoy, a 2023 World Championships bronze medallist, will face South Korea's Yoo Tae Bin in the opening round. India's women's singles contenders include Tanvi Sharma, Malvika Bansod, and Anmol Kharb, while the doubles and mixed doubles teams feature players like Sonali Singh, Ritika Thaker, Dhruv Rawat, and K. Maneesha. Several top Indian players, including PV Sindhu and men's doubles stars, have opted out, resulting in a relatively depleted Indian contingent.
