The Syed Modi International, now in its 13th edition, is set to be held in Lucknow, India from November 26 to December 1, 2024. Classified as a Super 300 event with a total prize pool of $210,000 USD, this tournament is the 37th stop on the World Tour 2024. Notably, it will not impact the World Tour Finals as all participant slots have been determined beforehand following the China Masters.
Representing Vietnam in the men's singles category are Le Duc Phat and Nguyen Hai Dang. Ranked 60th in the world, Le Duc Phat is scheduled to face off against Kalle Koljonen of Finland, ranked 53rd globally, in the first round. These two players had a memorable encounter at the Abu Dhabi Masters on October 19, 2023, where Le Duc Phat triumphed in a comeback victory of 10-21, 21-19, 21-19 in the round of 16. On the other hand, Nguyen Hai Dang, ranked 64th, will challenge the home favorite Sathish Karunakaran, ranked 46th. In a best-case scenario, the two Vietnamese representatives could meet each other in the quarterfinals, with potential tough opponents like India's seed number 2, Priyanshu Rajawat, who just competed in the China Masters first round.
In the men's singles event, India boasts a strong lineup with five seeded players including Lakshya Sen, Priyanshu Rajawat, Kiran George, Sathish Kumar Karunakaran, and Ayush Shetty.
