Lakshya Sen beats reigning world champion Loh Kean Yew to win India Open 2022

Fresh from their heroics at the recent 2021 World Championships, newly-crowned champion Loh Kean Yew and silver medallist Kidambi Srikanth are likely to meet each other once again at the India Open 2022, organised by the Badminton Association of India (BAI) and scheduled from January 11-16 in New Delhi.

Two-time Olympics medallist PV Sindhu and 2021 World Championships bronze medallist Lakshya Sen have received a relatively easy passage in the initial rounds at the USD 400,000 prize money Super 500 event, which will kickstart the 2022 BWF World Tour season.

Top seed Srikanth, who recently entered Top-10 in the world rankings, and Singapore's Kean Yew have been drawn in the same half and are likely to clash against each other in the possible men's singles semi-final showdown.

In the lower half, in-form Sen will start his campaign against Adham Elgamal of Egypt and could face compatriot and World Championships quarter-finalist HS Prannoy in the Last-8 stage. Prannoy is set to kickstart his challenge against Spaniard Pablo Abian.

Second seed B Sai Praneeth would also be looking to start the year on a high as he will take on Span's Luis Penalver in the opening round and could face Indonesia's Tommy Sugiarto in the quarter-finals.

The 11th edition of the prestigious tournament, which is making a return after a two-year break due to the coronavirus pandemic, will be played at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall at the Indira Gandhi Stadium.

"It has been tough two years for all of us but we are very excited to host this tournament once again. Unfortunately, keeping players'&nbsp;and other stakeholders'&nbsp;safety as the topmost priority, this mega event will be played without spectators. BAI will ensure execution of this tournament under strict COVID protocols," BAI General Secretary Ajay Singhania said.

In the women's singles, top seed PV Sindhu will begin her march towards a first title of the new year against compatriot Sri Krishna Priya Kudaravalli and could face Russian fifth seed Evgeniya Kosetskaya in the Last-8 stage. Indian badminton fans would be hoping for the marquee all-Indian summit clash between Sindhu and the former World No. 1 Saina Nehwal, who has received a relatively tough draw.

The London Olympics bronze medallist and fourth seed Nehwal is likely to square off against seventh seed Iris Wang of the USA in the quarter-finals and second seed Busanan Ongbamrungphan in the semi-finals.

In the women's doubles, the second seed pair of Ashwini Ponnappa and N Sikki Reddy will have an easy route to the Last-8.

However, playing along with B Sumith Reddy, Ponappa will face a tough challenge in the mixed doubles as they will be up against the second-seeded Russian duo of Rodion Alimov and Alina Davletova in their opening round match.&nbsp;

India Open 2022 draws announced: Srikanth likely to face Kean Yew, Lakshya and Sindhu get easier passage

Ace shuttler Kidambi Srikanth went down fighting against&nbsp;Singapore's&nbsp;Loh Kean Yew in the men's singles final of the BWF World Championships on Sunday (December 19). Despite losing, Srikanth scripted a historic feat as he became the first male shuttler from India to clinch a silver medal at the World Championships.

It was a hard-fought contest between the two finalists but Loh Kean&nbsp;managed to get the better of the Indian ace 21-15, 22-20 in straight sets to bag his maiden World Championships title. Srikanth lost the first game by a big margin but made a brilliant comeback in the second as he gained a six-point lead at 9-3 before Loh Kean&nbsp;managed to edge him out closely to take the game 22-20.

It was world no. 15 Srikanth's first defeat against world no. 22 Loh Kean. The Singapore shuttler produced some excellent smashes and didn't let the intensity go down against Srikanth, who is far more experienced but was outplayed by the youngster's speed and resilience.

Srikanth joined an elite list of Indian male shuttlers to have won a medal at the BWF World Championships. He remains the only one to have played the final and won a silver at the showpiece event. Prakash Padukone (1983), B Sai Praneeth (2019) and Lakshay Sen, who Srikanth defeated in the semi-final on Saturday, are the other three Indian men to have won a medal at the World Championships. All three have won bronze medals.

Srikanth had headed into the summit clash as one of the favourites after defeating Lakshya in a marathon semi-final on Saturday which lasted over an hour. However, he couldn't bring his A-game to the court and had to settle for silver despite looking in great control in the second game where he almost forced a decider after leading 16-18 with just three points required to win the game.

Loh Kean fought back into the contest and pulled off a miraculous escape in the second game&nbsp;to deny the Indian ace a chance at finishing on the top of the podium at the BWF World Championships. Srikanth is the third Indian overall after PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal to win a silver medal at the World Championships.

Sindhu remains the only gold medallist for India in the history of the&nbsp;World Championships. She had clinched glory at the showpiece event in 2019 after defeating Japan's Nozomi Okuhara in the final.

Kidambi Srikanth becomes first Indian male shuttler to win silver at BWF World Championships

Kidambi Srikanth showed grit and determination when he overcame his own countryman Lakshya Sen at the BWF Championships men's singles semi-final&nbsp;on Saturday.

Srikanth after losing the first set 17-21 was trailing 4-8 in the second set but then he brought his all past experiences into play against 20-year-old Sen who became the youngest Indian male shuttler to win a medal at BWF Championships. Former Indian No.1&nbsp;won the second set from 4-8 to 21-13 and the third set from 10-13 to 21-17 in a spectacular fightback.

The World No.14 would be hoping for a similar show against Singapore's Loh Kean Yew who ousted World No. 3, Anders Antonsen, in straight games 23-21 and 21-14.

Surprisingly, both Kidambi Srikanth and Loh Kean Yew are the first from their country to reach the finals of the BWF World Championships. None among them will leave any stone unturned to take their maiden trophy home.
