The 2026 Singapore Badminton Open, commencing on Tuesday, marks the return of Olympic medallist PV Sindhu and the men's doubles team of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty for India. After missing the previous Malaysia Masters, they aim to secure crucial ranking points at this BWF Super 750 event. Sindhu will compete in the women's singles alongside teammates Unnati Hooda and Malvika Bansod, facing a challenging first-round match against Indonesia's Putri Kusuma Wardani, who leads their head-to-head record at 3-2. Sindhu previously clinched the Singapore Open title in 2022. In men's singles, Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy are looking to improve their performances after first-round exits in Malaysia. The men's doubles team of Rankireddy and Shetty, seeded fourth, will lead India's challenge, while the women's doubles team will be represented by Kavipriya Selvam and Simran Singhi, as Treesa Jolly continues her recovery from injury. Other Indian pairs will compete in mixed doubles.
