A. Kento Momota B. Viktor Axelsen C. Kidambi Srikanth D. Viktor Axelsen
Explanation: Viktor Axelsen dashed Indian hopes with a 21-7, 22-20 win over Kidambi Srikanth at the India Open 2019 final, in New Delhi. In a rematch of the 2015 final, the Dane saved a couple of game points in the second game to get his second title after 2017 win. In women's singles, Thailand's Ratchanok Intanon created history by becoming the first women's singles shuttler to win the title three times, when she beat the third seed He Bingjiao 21-15, 21-14. With this, she also emulated the legendary Lee Chong Wei's record to become the second singles player to taste glory thrice at India's premier badminton event. Her earlier victories came in 2013 and 2016.
