Indian shuttlers are all pumped up for Swiss Open 2021, which is to begin from March 2, 2021. After a disappointing run in all the previous tournaments this year, they will certainly look forward to making their mark out of this opportunity. Reigning world champion PV Sindhu will be eager to return to the podium as former winner Saina Nehwal looks to regain her touch in the season-opening Swiss Open tournament beginning on Tuesday. Indian men’s singles players, too, have tasted success in this tournament with Sameer Verma, HS Prannoy and Kidambi Srikanth emerging victorious in 2018, 2016 and 2015 respectively and B Sai Praneeth finishing runners-up in the last edition.All four will be looking to relive the moments and extend India’s good run at the USD 140,000 event which will also resume the extended Olympic qualifying period. It was at St. Jakobshalle venue that Olympic silver medallist Sindhu had claimed the world championship gold in 2019, her last title before the COVID-19 pandemic disruption.
