Hong Kong Open: Satwik-Chirag, Lakshya Advance To Quarterfinals

By IANS News September 11, 2025 • 15:16 PM View: 622

Hong Kong Open Super: India enjoyed a strong day at the Hong Kong Open Super 500 on Thursday, with Lakshya Sen breaking a six-month drought by reaching his first BWF World Tour men’s singles quarterfinal since March, while Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty also booked their place in the last eight.

Lakshya, ranked 20th, overcame fellow Indian HS Prannoy 15-21, 21-18, 21-10 in a spirited comeback. The 23-year-old, who finished fourth at the Paris Olympics, had endured a tough run of injuries and inconsistent form this season, with his last notable performances being semifinal finishes at the All England Super 1000 and Macau Open Super 300.

He will now face either Japan’s Kodai Naraoka or compatriot Ayush Shetty in the quarterfinals.
