BWF World Championships 2022

In men's singles, India's top three - Kidambi Srikanth, Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy - are all placed in the same half.

Both will be tough encounters for the Indians, but winning it would ensure a first men's doubles medal for India. Gayatri Gopcihand and Treesa Jolly, who won bronze at the CWG, will open against Low Yeen Yuan and Valeree Siow of Malaysia. The Malaysians have a 2-0 head-to-head advantage, but they have played each other only in 2018, before the Indians became the consistent presence they are now. Among the players to watch out will be world No 1 Viktor Axelsen, who is on a 31-match winning streak and had lost just one match he has played this year, that to Lakshya Sen. For 20-year-old Malvika Bansod, her debut world championship starts against first 21-st ranked Line Christophersen from Denmark in the first round. They have form and momentum on their side, with a slightly more helpful draw in doubles as well.

At 11-15, Vittinghus made Lakshya twist and turn with his angled returns to win a point, but he was too erratic to put any pressure on his opponent.

Vittinghus kept testing the Indian by engaging him in fast-paced rallies, one of which was of 31 shots, but Lakshya used his winners to finish them off or the Danish miscued.
