NEW DELHI: As the 10th edition of the Yonex-Sunrise India Open came to a close on Sunday, the Badminton Association of India’s core group looking after the preparations can heave a sigh of relief that the tournament, which kicked off the 2022 HSBC BWF World Tour season, was completed successfully.

The hiccups in conducting the $350,000 prize money event started with uncertainty over the clearance for the tournament due to escalating Covid-19 cases in the National Capital at the start of the year.
