Indian shuttlers have been handed a tricky draw at the India Open Super 750 tournament here later this month, with former world champion PV Sindhu set to face Vietnam’s Thuy Linh Nguyen, against whom she had lost twice recently, in the women’s singles first round.

Lakshya Sen, the 2022 champion, will open his campaign against compatriot Ayush Shetty. The tournament will be played from January 13 to 18 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.
