India will be represented by 13 shuttlers at the German Open 2024 badminton tournament, which starts in Mulheim on Tuesday. Most of the top Indian badminton players have opted to skip the BWF Super 300 meet.
In the absence of the big names, women’s doubles pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand will spearhead the Indian challenge in Mulheim. The duo played an integral part in the Indian women’s team’s historic gold medal win at the 2024 Badminton Asia Team Championships in Busan earlier this month and will look to continue their good form in Germany.
Seeded fourth in the women’s doubles main draw, Treesa and Gayatri are the only rated Indian players at the German Open 2024. Aakarshi Kashyap, ranked 45th, and world No. 75 Tanya Hemnath are the two Indians in the women’s singles main draw, which will be headlined by reigning world champion An Se Young of Chinese Taipei.
