The Yonex Sunrise India Open Super Series-2011 badminton tournament got off to a start today at the Siri Fort complex at New Delhi in India. The Siri Fort complex is the same venue where CWG-Commonwealth games badminton matches had been hosted earlier.

On the first day of the Super Series tournament, the men's and women's singles qualifying rounds were played. Updates for the days results are as below. The main draw matches for all events is scheduled for tomorrow.

In the Women's singles qualifiers, the results went as more or less expected, with Indian former national badminton champions Sayali Gokhale, and Trupti Murgunde, and rising junior badminton star all made it to the main draw by winning both their qualifying round matches. Arundhati Pantawane, the National games champion this year, who recently also made it the semi-finals of the Polish Open however could not make it to the main draw. She was up against tough opponents from Hong Kong in both her rounds, and though she won her first match, she could not keep up the winning momentum, and lost in the second one.

In the men's singles qualfying rounds, top-seeded Aditya Elango could not make it past the first round against countrymate Oscar Bansal. Oscar in turn could not qualify for the main draw, as he could not get past HS Prannoy in the 2nd round. Sai Praneeth and Sourabh Verma won their 2nd round qualifying matches against opponents from Thailand and Malaysia respectively, while experienced Anup Shridhar dashed the hopes of N. Kidambi.

The India Open Super series badminton-2011 main draw matches are scheduled for tomorrow, and those results will be interesting to watch. Saina Nehwal is India's main hope in the singles, while the pair of Jwala-Ashwini is the main hope in the doubles. Saina is top-seeded in the women's singles, while Jwala-Ashwini are 8th seeded in the women's doubles. In the men's doubles Indian hopes mainly rest on the shoulders of Rupesh Kumar and Sanave Thomas.
