Lot of Indians playing here this week and only a few foreign players. So, it would be worthwhile tracking the results from QF stage where the tournament has reached now.
Saina is taking a break this week and so is Ajay Jayaram on the mens side. But, most of the other Indians are playing here.
Notable results so far - on mens side 9th seed Sai Praneeth beat 5th seed Anders Antonsen of Denmark 21-17 21-19 in PQF and 15th seed Harsheel Dani beat 6th seed H.S.Prannoy 21-18 21-18. Another good win by 8th seed Sameer Verma over 10th seed Malaysian Wei Feng Chong 21-15 21-16.
On the womens side, Rituparna Das beat 8th seed Polikarpova from Russia.

Also good to see a solid performance by Srikanth who is our best bet for top 10.

Re: Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold, Lucknow, Jan.17
Srikanth is the defending champion here too. So, he has points to defend. Important couple of matches for him to maintain his top 20 ranking. I think he can be much better than his current ranking of 19.
