HYDERABAD: After a forgetful 2024, Indian shuttlers will be keen to start on a winning note at the Malaysia Open BWF Super 1000 tournament in Kuala Lumpur beginning Tuesday. For the first time since 2009, the Indian shuttlers had nothing to show in an Olympic year. Though Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty held the No.1 ranking for a few weeks and won a few titles, they failed at the All England and Super 1000 tournaments.
Now reunited with their first coach Kim Tan Her, the duo will focus on good returns this year. Last year they lost in the final of the Malaysia Open.
