The much-awaited 2022 Odisha Open, a Badminton World Federation (BWF) event will kick off at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack from January 25 (tomorrow).

Earlier, the men's singles final between Arnaud Merkle and Lucas Claerbout was declared a 'No Match' after one of the finalists tested positive for COVID-19.

Meanwhile, India suffered another setback in men's singles when sixth seed Sameer Verma had to withdraw from the event with an injury.

Sindhu played a good rally to log her first points with a cross-court return. She tried to narrow the gap by engaging her rival in rallies but An Seyoung was quick on her feet and showed better anticipation to always keep her nose ahead.

Olympic medalist PV Sindhu was the chief guest of the 58th Convocation Ceremony of IIT Madras.

In the second game, Sindhu had a brief lead before Yamaguchi dominated her rival all throughout to seal the issue in her favour.

Sindhu dominated the next game as she took an early lead and built on it to go 15-4 up, winning 10 consecutive points during the game. The 26-year-old from Hyderabad, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games in August to add to the silver she bagged in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, won the second game 21-7, capitalising on the first game point.

The pint-sized weightlifter from Manipuri lifted the spirits of the entire nation as she ended a 21-year wait for a medal in weightlifting, clinching a silver medal in the 49kg category.
