Yonex Taipei Open 2022 is going to be held from 19 July (Tuesday) to 24 July (Sunday) next week. The tournament, which was started from the year 1980, was postponed last year due to Covid-19 pandemic. However, the shuttlers would be delighted after the event's return this year, even with a larger frame. The Taipei Open 2022 would be organized at the Taipei Heping Basketball Gymnasium by Chinese Taipei Badminton Association. The 39th edition of the badminton tournament would welcome more than 200 players across the world in different categories. Indians especially Saina Nehwal, Parupalli Kashyap and Sai Prateek would aim to end their campaign on a high note. Saina Nehwal vs Aya Ohori, Singapore Open 2022, Badminton Live Streaming Online: Know TV Channel & Telecast Details of Women’s Singles Quarter-Final Match Coverage
