Japan Open: Lakshya, Satwik-Chirag Crash Out In Second Round; Anupama Lone Indian Left In Fray
Liang Wei Keng: India's Lakshya Sen and the men’s doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty were knocked out in the Round of 16 of the Japan Open, a BWF Super 750 badminton tournament, here on Thursday.
Sen lost 19-21, 11-21 to Japan’s Kodai Naraoka in straight games, while Satwik-Chirag suffered a 22-24, 14-21 loss to the Chinese duo of Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang.
India's campaign has suffered a setback with these defeats on Thursday, as the prominent players such as HS Prannoy and PV Sindhu have already exited the tournament in the first round. Now the spotlight rests on Anupama Upadhyaya, India's sole remaining hope, who is set to take on China's Wang Zhi Yi in the women’s singles Round of 16 later in the day.
