Lakshya Sen, an Indian badminton player, has been working out with Anup Sridhar, a Beijing 2008 Olympian, to get ready for the upcoming season, which includes the Paris 2024 Olympic qualification run. Lakshya Sen and Anup Sridhar will travel together to the first four events of the BWF World Tour 2023.

Beginning on January 10, 2023, the Malaysia Open BWF Super 1000 will kick off the badminton season. This will be followed by the India Open BWF Super 750, Indonesia Masters Super 500, and Thailand Masters Super 300. For all four of the competitions, Lakshya Sen will be travelling alongside Anup Sridhar.

“On the court, we are getting to know one another, Lakshya Sen recently told PTI. “He (Sridhar) has played at the highest level and has a tonne of experience. Additionally, it is an Olympic year. I’m therefore eagerly anticipating it.”

The Indian badminton team that took home the bronze in the 2006 Commonwealth Games included Sridhar. At the Asian Championships in 2007, he took home the bronze medal in men’s singles, and that same year, he captained the Indian team in the Thomas Cup. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he also represented India.

Lakshya Sen, who is currently ranked 10th in the world, had a successful 2022 but was forced to call it off in November due to a throat ailment. The Indian badminton player claimed gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games but has since struggled with form. After the global championships in August, Lakshya Sen underwent nose surgery for a deviated nasal septum as well.

Lakshya Sen has been working hard to get ready for a demanding 2023 season after concluding his 2022 season early. He travelled to Dubai in December to train with Anup Sridhar, Sameer Verma of India, and Anders Antonsen of Denmark.

The Asian Games, which will take place in Hangzhou, China, from September 23 to October 8, are another event that will be part of the badminton season in 2023 in addition to the BWF competitions.

Can Sindhu, Sen, Satwik-Chirag, and the rest of the Indian badminton team reach new heights in 2023?

In addition to PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen winning the singles gold medals at the Commonwealth Games and the Thomas Cup for the first time in history, the men’s doubles team of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty also achieved multiple firsts in 2022. The amount of Indian players in the top 20 has increased the sport’s profile.

The challenge now is to maintain this momentum in 2023, a pivotal year that will also mark the commencement of the 2024 Paris Olympic qualifying cycle and the postponed 2022 Asian Games.

Along with all of this, the annual calendar has grown both quantitatively and qualitatively as of this year. There are more competitions this season, including more Super 1000, Super 750, and Super 500 competitions. In other words, a player’s season will be impacted by practically every incident, and steadiness will be valued more than flashes of brilliance.

For instance, HS Prannoy was the only Indian to qualify for the BWF World Tour Finals, which ended the season, despite Sen and Satwik-Chirag enjoying a breakout year (Sindhu was injured). In men’s singles, only B Sai Praneeth made it to the last Olympic cycle.

In light of this, managing the busy 2023 BWF calendar would be key for Indian badminton. The calendar looks like this: Lakshya Sen, who is currently ranked 10th in the world, had a successful 2022 but was forced to call it off in November due to a throat ailment.

The Indian badminton player claimed gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games but has since struggled with form. After the global championships in August, Lakshya Sen underwent nose surgery for a deviated nasal septum as well.

The Asian Games, which will take place in Hangzhou, China, from September 23 to October 8, are another event that will be part of the badminton season in 2023 in addition to the BWF competitions.

If everything goes according to plan, Anup Sridhar’s relationship with Lakshya Sen will be prolonged, and the former Olympian might end up being a key component of Lakshya Sen’s Olympic qualifying effort in Paris in 2024. The Asian Games, which will take place in Hangzhou, China, from September 23 to October 8, are another event that will be part of the badminton season in 2023 in addition to the BWF competitions.

January

The Malaysia Masters and the India Open, which have been promoted to Super 1000 and Super 750, respectively, kick off the season. Lakshya Sen and Satwik-Chirag both won the India Open Super 500 to start their seasons the previous year. However, a challenging match is temper hopes.

February

The Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships will begin on February 14 in Dubai, and India’s top players will expect tough competition.

March

On March 14, the renowned All England Open gets underway. Lakshya Sen made it to the final in 2022, and the women’s doubles team of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand became the first Indian team to advance that far.

April

The individual competition, the Badminton Asia Championships, will begin on April 25 in Dubai, just like the team competition.

May

India’s eligibility for the 2024 Olympics will be determined through the Race to Paris Olympic Qualification period, which will run from May 1 through April 28, 2024. The inaugural ranking competition will be the Sudirman Cup Finals (mixed-team Worlds), which will be held in Suzhou, China. The mixed Indian team, which won silver in the 2022 CWG, will try to emulate its triumph in the 2022 Thomas Cup.

June

Beginning on June 13, the Indonesia Open Super 1000 will take place. PV Sindhu will defend her title at the Singapore Open, which has been upgraded to a 750, marking it as the largest BWF World Tour victory of 2022.

July

The Canada Open Super 500, US Open Super 300, Korea Open Super 500, and Japan Open Super 750 will take place in July, which is a rather calm month.

August

The World Championships for this year will begin on August 20 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Sen and Kidambi Srikanth were the two men’s singles medalists for India in 2021. Satwik-Chirag earned bronze in 2022, giving India its first men’s doubles medal. It makes sense to anticipate a bigger haul in 2023.

September-October

From September 23 to October 8 in Hangzhou, China, there are the Asian Games. A medal here would be one of the biggest accomplishments of the year considering the quality of competition in Asia and India’s history at the Games. The only silver India has ever received at the Asiad was from PV Sindhu in 2018. All nine of the other medals are bronze. The China Open Super 1000 will also take place in September, and improved 750s in France and Denmark will take place in October.

At the end of the season, India will host three tournaments back-to-back. This comprises two other Super 100 tournaments in addition to the Syed Modi International Super 300 tournament in Lucknow, which is frequently beneficial for up-and-coming Indian professionals.

December

With the BWF World Tour Finals in December, the season will conclude. Will there be more than one Indian this year, because only the top 8 in the world qualify? We have an entire season to learn the answer.
