Mumbai: With the Olympic race heating up, HS Prannoy believes a tough test awaits Indian shuttlers at the Australian Open World Tour Super 300 beginning June 4. “Australia is going to be tough. Because of Olympic qualification a lot of players are playing. And I have to play Lin Dan in the first (round). So one of the toughest tournaments for every one of us,” he told reporters on Thursday.
“We had pretty good preparations (after the New Zealand). After New Zealand (Open) I had around three and half to four weeks, so there was a good time to train considering the amount of tournaments which I have to play in the second half of the year,” he said.
