German Open 2022: Sindhu, Srikanth and Lakshya lead India’s campaign at German Open

Two-time Olympic medallist P V Sindhu and world championship medal-winners Kidambi Srikanth and Lakshya Sen are the top Indian contenders at the German Open Super 300 badminton tournament.

The tournament is starting on Tuesday in Muelheim an der Ruhr in Germany. The tournament will end on 13 March. It is an annual Badminton tournament held in Germany since 1955.

Lakshya Sen grabbed his maiden Super 500 trophy at the Indian Open in January. Sen was the only bright spot during India’s campaign at Asia Team Championships in Malaysia in January. He will start his campaign against Thailand’s Kantaphon Wangcharoen at the German Open Super 300 badminton tournament.

P V Sindhu won the Syed Modi India International badminton title in January. However, Srikanth saw the momentum of the World Championships cracking out a bit after withdrawing from Delhi due to the Covid-19 infection. Srikanth withdrew from the India Open tournament after he tested positive for the Covid-19.
