Issues

Danish men's singles player and world no. 3 Anders Antonsen withdrew from the India Open for third straight time, citing pollution and air quality in New Delhi as hindrances in his participation in the tournament and even went on to say "I don’t think it’s a place to host a badminton tournament". Consequently he was fined US$5000 as top players are required by the Badminton World Federation to participate in all tournaments of Super 750 and Super 1000 levels.^[3] Another Danish player Mia Blichfeldt described the venue as "dirty and unhealthy" and said that players had to wear layers even in warm-up sessions due to inadequate heating inside the venue to which Badminton Association of India chief Sanjay Mishra replied, Blichfeldt's comments were "not about the playing arena specifically" and were rather about Kedar Jadhav Indoor Stadium, which serves as the training venue, and not the main playing arena".^[4][5]
