The lone Indian player in the fray HS Prannoy has been
clubbed in Group along with Viktor Axelsen, Kodai Naraoka, and Lu Gungazu. Each
player will face another once before the top two will qualify for the
semi-finals. Prannoy will face first Japanese Narakoa on 7th
December, followed by Gungazu of China on the 8th before facing Axselen
