Indian Shuttlers eye good outing at Malaysia Open

June 26, 2018

Kuala Lumpur: Rejuvenated after a month-long break, India’s top shuttlers, including P.V. Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth, will resume their quest for glory when the south-east Asia leg of BWF world tour begins with the $700,000 Malaysian Open here on Tuesday.

Srikanth and Sindhu had skipped the Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in May to regain full fitness ahead of the hectic schedule which includes back-to-back tournaments such as $1,250,000 Indonesia Open, $350,000 Thailand Open and $355,000 Singapore Open, followed by the Asian Games.

Srikanth and Sindhu have been in good form as they returned with silver medals from the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, but the fortnight-long multisport event also took a toll on their body and they worked hard on their fitness.

After bagging four titles last season, fourth seed Srikanth will look to lay claim to his first crown of the season when he begins his campaign against former world number 2 Jan O Jorgensen of Denmark, who is on a comeback trail after recovering from a recurring heel injury.
