India Open 2025: Sindhu, Kiran George, Satwik-Chirag, Dhruv-Tanisha In 2nd Round (Ld)
Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium: Former champion PV Sindhu brushed off the rustiness of a long competition break to register a straight games win over Sung Shuo Yun of Chinese Taipei while late entrant Kiran George, men’s doubles combination of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and mixed doubles pairing of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto came through hard-fought encounters to reach the second round of India Open 2025 badminton tournament at the KD Jadhav Hall here on Tuesday.
Sindhu, playing her first tournament after getting married in December last year, struggled with her rhythm during the 51-minute clash against an opponent who plays both singles and doubles. However, the two-time Olympic medallist upped the tempo when required to win 21-14, 22-20
In men's singles, Kiran missed three match points and saved three himself before beating Japan’s Yushi Tanaka 21-19, 14-21, 27-25 in an hour and 11 minutes in the opening round of the BWF World Tour Super 750 event
