The India Open 2025 got underway on Tuesday, January 14, in New Delhi. Lakshya Sen and PV Sindhu are amongst the big players taking part in the BWF Super 750 championship with whopping prize money of $950,000. Lakshya, who agonizingly missed out on winning a medal at the Paris Olympics, did not make a great start to the year.
Lakshya had won the Syed Modi International tournament, but could not carry the momentum in the Malaysia Open. He crashed out in the first round after losing to Chi Yu-jen of Chinese Taipei in straight games, 14-21, 7-21. Lakshya will be looking to make amends with a strong showing in the India Open.
The focus will also be on PV Sindhu, who is only one of the two Indians along with Saina Nehwal to win an Olympic medal in badminton. Sindhu missed the Malaysia Open due to her wedding in December. Eyes will also be on the doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty.
