Bwf Japan Open News

On another day at the Japan Open 750, a host of Indians progressed to the quarter-finals. In an all-Indian pre-quarters men's singles match, HS Prannoy prevailed over Kidambi Srikanth in three games, Lakshya Sen beat Kanta Tsuneyama, and Satwisairaj Rankireddy/ Chirag Shetty progressed too.

While Indian male shuttlers are coming up with decent performances here and there, it is form of two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu, which is a big cause of worry. The 27-year-old once again perished in the first round of Japan Open, this time against Zhang Yi Man from China in straight games.
