In badminton, which Indian player won the All England Open in 2017?
VerifiedAnswer: No Indian player won the All England Open in 2017.
Explanation:
The All England Open Badminton Championships 2017 took place from March 8-12, 2017, at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England. Despite having several talented Indian players participating in the tournament, none managed to claim victory in any of the five categories.
Indian shuttlers like P.V. Sindhu, Saina Nehwal, Kidambi Srikanth, and H.S. Prannoy participated in the tournament but were unable to progress to the finals. The closest any Indian player came to winning was P.V. Sindhu, who reached the quarterfinals in women's singles but lost to eventual champion Tai Tzu-ying of Chinese Taipei.
The 2017 All England Open winners were dominated by players from other countries. In men's singles, Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia defeated Shi Yuqi of China. The women's singles title went to Tai Tzu-ying of Chinese Taipei, who defeated Carolina Marin of Spain in the final.
It's worth noting that while Indian players didn't win in 2017, they have achieved success in the All England Open in other years. Pullela Gopichand won the men's singles title in 2001, making him the second Indian to win this prestigious tournament after Prakash Padukone, who won it in 1980.
