BWF World Championships

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.

In women's doubles, expectations will be high from the pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand after their bronze medal feat at the Commonwealth Games 2022. A total of 26 Indian players will be in action at the BWF World Championships 2022 which gets underway on August 22 (Monday) in Tokyo, Japan. The men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty will also be major contenders for gold at the World Championships.

Sixth seed Nozomi Okuhara of Japan, winner at the World Championships in 2017 and runner-up in 2019, has also pulled out due to a stress fracture. In the women's singles, the host nation harbour hopes of success through top seed and defending champion Akane Yamaguchi, who has a bye through the first round and is set to take on the winner of the tie between Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour and Indonesia's Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in the second. Home favourite Kento Momota, a two-time world champion, is seeded second but has endured a difficult season on the BWF World Tour, losing in the first round in four of his seven singles tournaments.

The pairs are CWG bronze medallists in 2018 and 2022. So, this time expectations from the Indian male shuttlers will be high. Sindhu missing out for the first time in a decade, the onus will be on young Lakshya Sen, experienced Saina Nehwal, Kidambi Srikanth and H.S.

Top seed and reigning champion Akane Yamaguchi of Japan is the frontrunner for the title among the women, followed by Tai Tzu-Ying (second seed) of Taiwan and Chen Yufei (fourth seed) of China, who will return to the championship after a one-year gap. Notably, India have won 12 medals at the World Badminton Championships, but the only gold came in 2019 through Sindhu. In the doubles category, India will have high hopes from CWG 2022 gold medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. World No. Apart from Srikanth and Lakshya, B Sai Praneeth, the bronze medallist of the 2019 edition and HS Prannoy are also capable of springing a surprise. Lakshya, seeded ninth, clinched a bronze medal in the 2021 edition of the tournament in Huelva.

Momota, Shi Yuqi, Lee Zii Jia and Axelsen in peak shape make this the toughest men's singles World championship to win, in many years.

Tai Tzu Ying – She has never really gone anywhere, but she’s not won a World title yet, and that’s gob-smackingly shocking in the badminton universe. Carolina Marin – She missed Tokyo Games from a late injury and even skipped the World’s at hometown Huelva. But Yufei who trained to clockwork simulation in winning Olympic gold at Tokyo, would love a crack at the title – that the Japanese Okuhara and Yamaguchi, plus Sindhu and Marin have denied her all these years.

Standing in Yufei’s way is the other surprise non-winner, Tai Tzu Ying, who just can’t seem to catch a break at the World Championships. She has the persistent Chinese Wang Zhi Yi to counter early, and Yamaguchi (5-7 win loss) and Marin thereafter. But she has a good chance to leave the Chinese behind, if she can turn back the years and pick her 4th at Tokyo. Marin missed the Olympics after a horrific ACL in the May before Tokyo Games, and has paced her comeback suitably quietly, to merit a mention among favourites. But noone brings the big occasion swag to the court, like Marin does. Anthony Ginting and Chou Tien Chen have never won the World title, and will always prove a handful, should Axelsen slip up. And it is in their hungry appetites for the biggest title, rather than the bleak projections for Indians, that this World Championship needs to be viewed. On the eve of the World’s, Momota told the press that he was still uneasy during matches, though he felt swell in practice.

He has been a shadow of his imperious former self since then and he said Sunday that his goal is to “focus on myself and play my best”. “I’m not feeling so bad in practice but I’m not managing to perform in games so there is still a lot of unease,” Momota told reporters, adding that his confidence is returning “little by little”. Struggling former badminton world No 1 Kento Momota said on Sunday that he still feels “a lot of unease” as he bids to reclaim his world title next week in Tokyo.
