India Open: Srikanth, Kiran George Make It To Main Draw After Withdrawals
KD Jadhav Indoor Hall: Former world No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth and Kiran George were added to the men’s singles draw of the India Open 2025 following the late withdrawal of top seed Shi Yuqi of China and eighth seed Antony Ginting of Indonesia. The withdrawal of Shi Yuqi and Antony Ginting means that the men’s and women’s singles main draws were updated according to the rules.
While the focus will remain on two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, who will be participating in her first event after he marriage, home hopes will also rest on Lakshya Sen in men's singles and Asian Games gold medallist Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty in men's doubles.
As things stand now, Lakshya Sen will now take Ginting’s place in the draw and hence will face Chun Yi Lin of Chinese Taipei in the opening round. Srikanth will take on China’s Hong Yang Weng while Kiran George will open his campaign against Yushi Tanaka of Japan.
