|September 12, 2025
Indian men's singles shuttler Lakshya Sen and men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty won their respective encounters in the Round of 16 and stormed into the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Open 2025 badminton tournament on Thursday.
India's top-ranked singles player and world No. 20 Lakshya Sen beat HS Prannoy, 34th in the men's singles badminton rankings, 15-21, 21-18, 21-10 in an hour and eight minutes, as reported by Olympics.com.
Competing at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Lakshya Sen made a sluggish start, allowing HS Prannoy to dictate terms and pocket the opening game. Lakshya, the Paris 2024 semi-finalist, began the second game slowly too, trailing 11-9 at the break before clawing back to 13-all.
