NEW DELHI, Aug. 6 -- It won't be an easy outing for Indian shuttlers at their home badminton World Championships. The draw for all five categories were announced here on Wednesday. Asian Championships silver medallist Ayush Shetty will face defending champion and top seed Shi Yuqi of China in the men's singles opener. While chief national coach Pullela Gopichand said that it is better to face the world No.1 at the start than deeper into the tournament, it is the toughest first round Shetty, 21, could have expected. Lakshya Sen, who won bronze in 2021, will open with Austrian Collins Valentine Filimon. He is likely to face second seed Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand - who has reached the final of the last three editions - in the last 16. PV Sindhu will be India's flagbearer in women's singles. She opens her campaign against world No.141 Sophia Nobel of Ireland. The 2019 world champion is easily expected to progress to the Round of 16 where she will likely meet third seed Wang Zhi Yi of China. Teenager Unnati Hooda will face Thet Htar Thuzar of Myanmar in Round 1 with a possible clash against 13th seed Michelle Li of Canada in the second round. Tanvi Sharma, 17, who recently won the Taipei Open, did not make it as she was not ranked high enough on entry deadline. She is in the reserve list. In women's doubles, two-time All England semi-finalists Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly will be up against Paula Lopez and Lucia Rodriguez of Spain....
