The individual competitions will begin on December 8 from the round of 32. Former junior world No. 1 Payas Jain, currently ranked 13th, will be India’s best bet in the under-19 boys’ singles and will look to upgrade his bronze medal from last year.
Junior world No. 12 Yashaswini Ghorpade and 2021 World Youth Championships bronze medallist Suhana Saini, world No. 14, will lead India’s challenge in under-19 girls’ singles.

Yashaswini Ghorpade will team up with Suhana Saini in the under-19 girls’ doubles and the pair are the top seeds in the category.
