Indian badminton players H.S. Prannoy and Kidambi Srikanth will be in action in the singles event at the Arctic Open in Vantaa, Finland, on Wednesday.
Prannoy will take on fourth seed Anders Antonsen in the round of 32, while Srikanth will face Canada’s Brian Yang in the same round later in the day.
Among the other Indians in action, Rounak Chauhan, ranked 60th in the world, will face China’s Weng Hong Yang.

Prannoy has won one BWF Super 500 title, while Srikanth has not won a title at that level since the BWF World Tour format was introduced in 2018.
