Lakshya and Satwik-Chirag reach Hong Kong Open final
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 14, 2025
This has been one of the driest seasons in recent times in terms of titles won by Indian shuttlers. Barring the US Open crown that Ayush Shetty clinched in June, no one has stood on the top step of the podium on the BWF World Tour this year.
But on Sunday Lakshya Sen and the men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty will have a chance to make amends as both stormed into the final of the $500,000 Hong Kong Open on Saturday.
Lakshya has had a pretty average season with eight first round exits in 13 competitions, having dropped to world No.20. But the 24-year-old seems to have come alive at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Taken the distance in all three previous rounds, including twice against compatriots HS Prannoy and Ayush Shetty, the shuttler from Almora delivered a brilliant performance to oust third seed Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in the men's singles semis.
