After making his maiden Super 500 quarterfinals at Hong Kong, beating Top 10 Kodai Naraoka (World No 9), the 6-foot-4 was at it again, defeating the Japanese 21-17, 21-16 at the Super 500 Australia Open in Sydney to take his career head-to-head to 2-1 The win in Hong Kong on September 11 followed a summer in which Ayush, still 20, had defeated Chou Tien Chen and Brian Yang to win the US Open, India’s only singles title of 2025.

It was the same booming game – with strength in the smashes and ability to …
