The likes of PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen and even the double combination of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty needed a break to recuperate from injuries and niggles and rejuvenate themselves after the arduous Paris Olympic campaign. Having taken their time by spending time away from the circuit, the top stars of Indian badminton are set to unleash their best on home turf as the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2025 kicks off at the KD Jadhav Indoor Hall at the Indira Gandhi Arena in New Delhi from Tuesday. The prestigious event, which is part of the HSBC BWF World Tour Super 750 series, has attracted the world's best badminton players including the likes of Olympic champions Viktor Axelsen and An Se-Young among others. Sindhu, the 2017 champion, took a long break after the Paris Olympics before returning to the circuit at the end of the year. She also got married in December and is looking forward to making a strong statement with her performance here. "This will be my first tournament after marriage and also in the new year. So, everything is new and I want to give my best in the competition in front of the home fans... After the Paris Olympics, I wanted some time to recover physically and emotionally and the break has helped me get back rejuvenated," said Sindhu at the launch press conference of the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2025 on Monday. Sindhu will open her campaign against Shuo Yung Sung of Chinese Taipei.
