Singapore Badminton Open 2024, live streaming: Focus on PV Sindhu, Lee Zii Jia and Loh Kean Yew - where to watch

Reigning Olympic singles champions Viktor Axelsen and Chen Yufei will headline a world-class assortment of top global stars at the Singapore Badminton Open 2024 BWF Super 750 tournament, which gets underway in Kallang from Tuesday.

Live streaming of the 2024 Singapore Open badminton matches will be available in India, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.

On the road to defend his Olympic crown at the Paris 2024 Summer Games, Axelsen won the Malaysia Masters men’s singles title on Sunday, ousting Malaysian ace Lee Zii Jia in the final.

The world No. 1 Dane will look to build on the momentum at Singapore and is the top seed for the badminton tournament, which he has never won in the past. Axelsen will start his campaign against India’s Lakshya Sen, the reigning Commonwealth Games champion.

Tenth in world badminton rankings, Lee will be eyeing a hat-trick of finals after making the title deciders in Thailand and Malaysia this month.

Two-time defending Singapore Open men’s singles champion Anthony Sinisuka Ginting will be the seventh seed for this year’s competition while his Indonesian compatriot Jonatan Christie, the reigning All England champion, is seeded third.

The home challenge, meanwhile, will be fronted by former world champion Loh Kean Yew, who is slated to face the People’s Republic of China’s Lu Guangzu in his opening match.

The Republic of Korea’s An Seyoung will be in Singapore to defend her women’s singles crown as the top seed. Reigning Olympic champion Chen and Rio 2016 gold medallist Carolina Marin are seeded second and third, respectively.

Tai Tzu-ying was seeded fourth but the Chinese Taipei star has since withdrawn.

China’s Wang Zhiyi, who beat India’s two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu to clinch the Malaysia Masters title last week, will be the seventh seed.

Sindhu, unseeded in the tournament, won the Singapore Open title back in 2022, which also happens to be her last title on the BWF World Tour. Following her run in Kuala Lumpur, the Indian star will also be out to end the drought in Singapore.

India’s Chirag Shetty/Satwiksairaj Rankireddy will be the top billing in the men’s doubles competition and are on the lookout for their third title of the season after the French and Thailand Open.

Tokyo 2020 silver medal winners Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan of China are the No. 1 seeds in women’s doubles.

Paris 2024-bound Australian women’s doubles pair of Setyana Mapasa and Angela Yu will also be in action at the Singapore Open 2024.
