Heading into the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2019 as title favourite will be Viktor Axelsen, who has an enviable record at this event.

The Dane, who was in three straight finals – of which he won the last, in 2017 - will be looking to ride on his recent good form when the HSBC BWF World Tour Super 500 event begins on Tuesday in New Delhi.
A runner-up finish at the All England which followed his title victory at the Barcelona Spain Masters showed that the Dane had put his injury troubles behind him.
Early in 2018, he had suffered the ankle injury that required surgery and recuperation. Ankle trouble flared up again later in the year, forcing him to skip all the events after the Denmark Open.
