They are taking on a lower-ranked Turkish pair in the round of 64.

First Up: WD - Diya-Yashaswini (IND) Vs Magdieva-Erkebaeva (UZB) at 2:30 PM

The young indian duo of Yashaswini Ghodpade and Diya Chitale, ranked 16th in the world, had two quarterfinal outings this year as a pair at WTT Star Contender Chennai and WTT Contender Tunis.
