Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly, the third seeds, will represent India’s best hope in the women’s doubles section at the tournament, having reached the semifinals of the Singapore Open BWF Super 750 earlier this June. However, they have yet to win a title this year.

N Sikki Reddy and B Sumeeth Reddy, Commonwealth Games medalists, will lead India’s mixed doubles team.PV Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, and Lakshya Sen will not compete in the Macau Open, which concludes on Sunday.
