Kidambi Srikanth Wins; PV Sindhu, HS Prannoy Out Of Singapore Open

Kidambi Srikanth made a winning start but PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy were ousted from the Singapore Open Super 750 tournament after suffering contrasting losses in the opening round in Singapore on Tuesday. Srikanth, a 2021 world championships silver medallist, beat Thailand's Kantaphon Wangcharoen 21-15 21-19 in the opening round of men's singles competition. The former world number one will meet either Japan's Kenta Nishimoto or Chinese Taipei's Chia Hao Lee next.

Defending Champion PV Sindhu, In-Form HS Prannoy Eye Good Show In Singapore

Defending champion PV Sindhu will look to bounce back after hitting a low at Thailand but in-form HS Prannoy will be brimming with confidence as the duo spearheads Indian challenge at the Singapore Open Super 750 tournament starting in Singapore on Tuesday. Things have not been the same for Sindhu since she suffered that ankle injury in August last year. She is slowly getting back to her best with a final and semi-final finish at Madrid Spain Masters and Malaysia Masters respectively being her best result this season. However, a first-round exit at Thailand Open following a narrow loss to Canada's Michell Li is not the right way to approach a tournament, which remains her last BWF world tour title.

Thailand Open: Lakshya Sen Storms Into Semis, Kiran George Bows Out

India's star shuttler Lakshya Sen stormed into the semifinals to keep India's challenge alive in the ongoing Thailand Open 2023 as he defeated Jun Hao Leong of Malaysia 21-19, 21-11 in the quarterfinals match of men's singles event in Bangkok on Friday. Commonwealth Games 2022 champion Lakshya has endured a tough season so far. Playing at the Indoor Stadium Huamark, Lakshya was in a spot of bother in the first game, trailing his world No. 65 opponent by six points at 10-16.
