Sindhu is hoping to break her championship drought, while Rankireddy-Shetty and Sen have withdrawn.

PV Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, will attempt to bounce back from an unexpected semi-final loss at the India Open by winning the Syed Modi International, which begins on Tuesday. Lakshya Sen, the newly minted India Open champion, has withdrawn from the Super 300 tournament. Sindhu, 26, was on track to win her first championship since winning the 2019 World Championships last week but Thailand’s Supanida Katethong destroyed her dreams with a three-game victory at the India Open.
