India Open: Sen and Satwik-Chirag make it double delight for hosts
NEW DELHI: World Championships bronze medallist Lakshya Sen and the top men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty produced superlative performances to claim their maiden titles at the Yonex-Sunrise India Open on a 'Super Sunday' for the host nation.

While Sen secured his maiden Super 500 title with a stunning 24-22 21-17 victory over world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore, Satwik and Chirag became the first team from the country to win India's flagship tournament after registering a 21-16 26-24 result over three-time world champions Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan.

For the 20-year-old Sen, who had claimed his maiden world championships medal in Spain, it was a repeat of last year's Dutch Open final but the Indian ensured that he has the last laugh this time around, after the 54-minute summit clash here.

It was a crucial first game. I was leading and then it became 20-20. But I managed to pull out the first game and it gave me a lot of confidence, Sen said.
