After an exciting week of badminton in Hong Kong, the BWF World Tour will now arrive in Shenzhen with the China Masters. The tournament is a Super 750 event and many of the world's top shuttlers will be in action as they fight for glory.
The Indian contingent at the China Masters will feature some of the nation's best players. Leading the charge will be the men's doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, as well as singles stars Lakshya Sen. The former World No.1 pairing and Sen were both finalists at Hong Kong last week and will be looking to one up themselves this time around.
Alongside Lakshya Sen, the Indian men's singles team in Shenzhen will also see youngster Ayush Shetty in action. Last week, Shetty enjoyed an incredible run at the Hong Kong Open, where he downed World No.9 Kodai Naraoka to reach the quarterfinals of the Super 500.
