Impact of COVID-19 on the tournament

Due to COVID-19, the tournament was held behind closed doors at K. D. Jadhav Indoor Hall with the participating players tested for COVID-19 daily.[3]

However, there were many shuttlers withdrawing from the tournament before and during the tournament. On 7 January 2022, the entire England contingent withdrew before the competition started after Sean Vendy and Nathan Robertson was tested positive with COVID-19.[4] On 12 January 2022, seven Indian shuttlers, including Srikanth Kidambi was withdrawn for the same reason.[5] Rodion Alimov and Alina Davletova had to withdraw as well after Alimov was tested positive, giving Terry Hee and Tan Wei Han a walkover on their mixed doubles semi-finals.[6]
