Prannoy faces a fairly tough group in the BWF season-ender, facing Olympic and world champion Vikton Axelsen, Kodai Naraoka and Lu Guang Zu.

He has a 5-1 advantage over Prannoy but the Indian beat him in their last encounter - at the Indonesia Open in November last year. Even so, Prannoy will need a minimum of two out of three wins, but he has a negative head-to-head with each of the players in his group. In 2022, Prannoy has 66,730 points from 14 tournaments - the third-highest overall. This is the first time he has qualified for the year-end competition, after a consistent showing in what has been a landmark year for Indian men's badminton. He also managed a runner-up finish at the Swiss Open Super 300 and reached the semi-finals of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 as well as the Malaysia Masters Super 500 event. The world No 12 has been placed in Group A along with Olympic and world champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark, Japan's Kodai Naraoka (world No 14) and China's Lu Guang Zu (world No 17).

Meanwhile, from India, only HS Prannoy has qualified in the men's singles category.

The Badminton World Federation or BWF World Tour Finals 2022 tournament will begin on Wednesday, December 7, 2022.

Apriyani / Fadia's struggle in the preliminary round of the 2022 World Tour Finals has been tough. Apriyani / Fadia has won their first meeting which took place at the 2022 Indonesia Masters. Today's match is also a repetition of the competition in the first round of the 2022 French Open last October.
