On Monday, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) announced the postponement of next month s India Open Super 500 in New Delhi, following the deteriorating virus scenario in the capital, which went into a six-day lockdown the same night. It was to be one among the final three Olympic qualification tournaments. This turn of events has further complicated the qualification path for former World No .1 Kidambi Srikanth and Saina Nehwal, the London Olympics bronze medallist. The two are now left staring at a steep climb of ranking points from just two competitions Malaysia Open Super 750 and Singapore Open Super 500 over the next two months.
