Lakshya Sen, who defeated Germany’s Max Weisskirchen in the last game, is most likely to take on 29th ranked Brian Yang in the first men’s singles. Yang too will enter the contest after clinching a straight set victory against Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen in the previous match. Lakshya Sen will be the favorite in this contest.
Second Men’s Singles – Kidambi Srikanth vs Jason Ho-Shue
2021 World Championship silver medalist Kidambi Srikanth is likely to face 49th ranked Jason Ho-Shue. The Canadian faced a straight set defeat in his previous match against Wang Tzu Wei of Chinese Taipei and he is expected to face a similar fate against a much stronger opponent in Srikanth.
Third Men’s Singles – HS Prannoy vs BR Sankeerth
BR Sankeerth, who is ranked 82nd in the world is likely to set up clash with HS Prannoy. Prannoy has been in good form this year, having been the runner-up in the Swiss Open. Prannoy enters Thomas Cup after a short injury break and he looked in fine touch in his previous match. Meanwhile, Sankeerth has not had much success and he enters the contest after facing a three-set defeat in his previous match. Against Prannoy, he will have a tough game.
Men’s Doubles – Dong Adam and Nyl Yakura are the first choice seed for Canada and they will face India’s Satwiksairaj Ranki Reddy and Chirag Shetty. The Indian duo have the experience on their side and will be the clear favorites going into the contest.
