インド・オープン2025：マルヴィカ、ラクシタ、アーカルシは進歩に失敗、アヌパマがインドにとって厳しい日を勝ち抜く

It’s only Day 2 of the Indian Open 2025, and Indian women’s players saw a series of disappointments at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, Delhi, after the country saw only 1 win and 3 losses in the category on Wednesday. Three Indian players crashed out in the category on the day. India’s hopes, Malvika Bansod, Aakarshi Kashyap, and Rakshitha Ramraj, get eliminated after facing tough losses. The only good thing that happened was Anupama Upadhyaya, the player who was supposed to face PV Sindhu earlier, faced Ramraj to win an reach into the round of 16.

Malvika Bansod fought hard but failed to capitalise

After PV Sindhu, if we have hope for any other player in women’s singles, then it is Malvika Bansod. The player has shone on several occasions for India, and though not as good as the top 10, Malvika has the potential to shine. However, we have seen a different picture in the Indian Open. Playing her first match itself, Malvika played 3 games to lost two against China’s Han Yue, after winning the first game by 22-20, she lost back-to-back games by (16-21, 11-21).
