All England Open News

In what can be called a historic moment in Indian badminton, the women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly/Gayatri Gopichand entered the semifinals of the All England Open 2023, repeating their feat from last year. The world no.17 team beat Chinese pair of Li Wen Mei/Liu Xuan Xuan 21-14, 18-21, 21-12.

India star shuttler PV Sindhu exited from the All England Open 2023 in the first round itself after she lost her match to China's Zhang Yi Man 17-21, 11-21 in straight games on Wednesday. The ninth-ranked Sindhu lost to the world no.17 shuttler without even posing a real threat to her opponent.

PV Sindhu, Saina Nehwal, Kidambi Srikanth, and Lakshya Sen, four of India's best badminton players, have been given difficult draws for the All England Open Championships 2022, which will be contested in Birmingham from March 16 to 20.

All the Indian shuttlers have been cleared to participate in the upcoming 2021 All England Open. Previously, three players from the Indian contingent at the All England Open, along with a staff were tested positive for Covid-19, hours before the scheduled start of the tournament.
