Men's doubles pair Chirag Shetty-Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and women's duo Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand also progressed to the second round.

12 Lakshya Sen, however, was in complete control of Tuesday’s contest and won it comfortably in straight games. The former world champion finally found some rhythm and clawed her way back and even had a match point opportunity. The Indian badminton player, who returned after a long injury layoff at last week’s Malaysia Open, was outclassed in the first game. Incidentally, Supanida Katethong had also accounted for PV Sindhu in last year’s India Open semi-finals. [BWF world rankings](https://olympics.com/en/news/badminton-rankings-bwf-world-tour-team-olympics-men-women), had knocked out Lakshya Sen in the opening round of the Malaysia Open last week. 7 PV Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medallist, went down 14-21, 20-22 against the 30th-ranked Katethong.

Defending champions Lakshya Sen and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty started their India Open campaigns with good wins while Saina Nehwal and ...

I could see that my movement was good today and I was determined to fight for every point," said Saina after the match. She began on a positive note and raced to 11-6 lead in the opening game before closing it out. She had, in fact, left the court after the opponent's return was called out. Prannoy managed to keep pace at the start of the second game but the youngster opened up a two-point lead at the break and then kept things flat and fast to close out the match in 45 minutes. The 32-year-old Saina has had a tough few months with form and injury but her movement looked much better in Delhi. However, PV Sindhu exited in the first round as she continued to struggle on her return from a five-month injury layoff.

What is confounding in her team's thinking is how she plans to protect against injuries by playing a brutally taxing defensive game.

On Tuesday at the KD Jadhav hall too, Sindhu was troubled by the southpaw’s angles, though she played a completely different game than last year, when she had rained down jump smashes on the Indian. Against Supanida all those questions came rushing back, as Sindhu finds herself on the crossroads. PV Sindhu left the tournament the same way she had left last year – losing to Thai lefthander Supanida Katethong, except the 21-14, 22-20 loss this year came in Round 1.

Kidambi Srikanth's poor run continued as he went down in straight games to Viktor Axelsen in his opening men's singles match at the India Open Super 750 ...

Soon, exasperation led Srikanth to a series of errors. But Axelsen clawed back to win six out of the next seven points for a 11-8 lead at the mid-game break. In the last few seasons, lack of peak fitness apart, Srikanth’s inconsistency has played a major part in leading him out of the world’s top-10 list.

The Danish World No.1 kept his undefeated run intact in 2023, beating Kidambi Srikanth 21-14, 21-19 to progress to second round at India Open.

Lot of positives to take from that game, though, but I still need to work a lot,” said Srikanth in the mixed zone following the game. “I think it’s really important to cut down the errors. The two-time India Open winner could potentially set up a quarterfinal against defending champion Lakshya Sen, who meets another Danish shuttler, Rasmus Genke in the second round. Even in the first game, when it was 14-16 or something, I just sent a few smashes out. Now, I have more hours for tomorrow, so I’m trying to recover in the best way possible,” said the World No.1 player. I didn’t feel good in the second game. “Can’t believe I managed to win the match. I’m just trying to settle in and I’m really happy I have won in straight games here. When Hindustan Times asked if the slowness of shuttle and the overall conditions at the court were hard to adapt, Axelsen stated that it does get difficult. He went to mid-game break with a healthy seven-point advantage, and didn't let the intensity slip after resumption to lead 14-6. Viktor soon took charge, however, producing an exhibition in playing out some stunning drop shots and racing to an 11-8 lead at the mid-game break. The crowds had started to fill the seats in advance for the blockbuster tie on Day 2 of the tournament, with other top shuttlers Lee Zii Jia and Anthony Ginting also finding many admirers in their respective matches just before Srikanth was scheduled to play Axelsen.
