Indian badminton performance in international tournaments

Overview

Indian badminton players have experienced mixed results across recent BWF Super 750 tournaments.

At the Denmark Open 2026, the Indian campaign concluded in the quarterfinals. In women’s singles, 17-year-old Tanvi Sharma reached the quarterfinals before losing to world No. 1 An Se-young. The women’s doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand also reached the quarterfinals but were defeated by Malaysia’s Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan. Other prominent players, including PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen, faced early exits.

Following this, at the French Open, several top-seeded Indian players suffered early defeats. The fifth-seeded men’s doubles pair Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty were eliminated in the first round, a match notable for Chirag Shetty’s racket breaking during a smash attempt. Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand also exited in the opening round of the French Open. However, Tanvi Sharma and Ashmita Chaliha managed to advance to the second round.
