According to the Olympics.com website, Lakshya Sen, who made it to the semi-finals at the Paris 2024 last year, has endured a patchy BWF World Tour 2025 season so far, having made 10 first-round exits. His best result came at the Hong Kong Open last month, where he finished runner-up
Sen will be joined by the men’s singles main draw by youngster Ayush Shetty, who captured his maiden BWF World Tour title earlier this year at the US Open 2025. The singles field will be led by local hero and two-time Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen.
In the men’s doubles draw, sixth seeds Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy will be eager to build on their recent form and go one better after successive runners-up finishes at the Hong Kong Open and the China Masters last month.
Sai Pratheek K and Pruthvi Krishnamurthy Roy will also represent India in the men’s doubles pair in the draw.
Anmol Kharb is India’s sole entrant in the women’s singles section and she will be high on confidence after her run to the semi-finals of the Arctic Open Super 500 tournament last week, the website noted.
India’s challenge in the mixed doubles will be led by Olympian Tanisha Crasto and Dhruv Kapila. The women’s doubles will see Kavipriya Selvam-Simran Singhi and Rutaparna Panda-Swetaparna Panda in action for India.
