Indian seniors PV Sindhu and the men\u2019s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy & Chirag Shetty started their Singapore Open campaign on a positive note, advancing to the next round after defeating their respective opponents at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sindhu overcame Indonesia\u2019s Putri Kusuma Wardani 21-17, 21-18 in women\u2019s singles, while Satwik-Chirag defeated Chen Zhi Yi and Presley Smith 26-28, 21-15, 21-13 in men\u2019s doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sindhu, champion of the 2022 edition, defeated the fifth-seeded Indonesian in straight games to level their head-to-head record at 3-3. The Indian had early control in the opening game with a four-point advantage. Although she faced a brief setback, Sindhu quickly recovered to draw level at 16-all before winning five consecutive points to secure the first game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second game witnessed an intense battle for every point, with Sindhu taking the lead at crucial moments before sealing the match in straight games. She will next face Japan\u2019s Riko Gunji in the pre-quarterfinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In men\u2019s doubles, World No. 4 Satwik-Chirag dropped the opening game despite saving seven game points in a tightly contested battle. The Indian duo responded strongly to force a decider and then dominated the third game, closing it out 21-13 after one hour and 15 minutes of play. Chinese Taipei\u2019s Lee Jhe-Huei and Yang Po-Hsuan await them in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In men\u2019s singles, Ayush Shetty put up a strong fight against Victor Lai. After taking the opening game comfortably 21-11, the Indian could not maintain the same intensity and eventually went down 14-21, 12-21 in the following games. Other Indian contingents in action on day 1 lost to their respective opponents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
