On the other hand, the youngsters Kiran George and Aakarshi Kashyap faced a first-round exit in their respective categories. Kiran bowed down to Indonesia’s Moh.

Treesa-Gayatri’s gritty comeback from injury ends in round two

Published by Webster

Indian shuttlers had a disappointing second day at the Thailand Open 2025, as none of them managed to win their second-round matches at the Nimibutr Stadium, Thailand, on Thursday. The hopes for the day rested on the shoulders of the young women’s doubles pair, Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand. However, their campaign came to a pale end as they lost in straight games, 20-22, 14-21. Returning from a long injury break, Treesa and Gayatri appeared less agile and not fully match-fit, eventually going down to the Japanese duo of Rui Hirokami and Sayaka Hobara. Despite being the third-seeded pair, the Indians were outplayed throughout the match and failed to take the lead at any point. Malvika, Unnati bow down in the second round In women’s singles, young Indian shuttlers Malvika Bansod and Unnati Hooda lost their respective pre-quarterfinal matches to higher-seeded Thai opponents. Malvika, facing former world medallist Ratchanok Intanon, went down in straight games, 12-21, 16-21. Meanwhile, last week’s semi-finalist Unnati Hooda lost to top seed Pornpawee Chochuwong.

India’s no.1 men’s singles player, Lakshya Sen, faced his third first-round exit in just the fifth tournament of the year at the Thailand Open in the Nimibutr Stadium, Patumwan, Thailand, on Wednesday. Lakshya fell to a dreadful 18-21, 21-9, 17-21 defeat against Nhat Nguyen of Ireland in 80 minutes in the BWF World Tour Super 500 tournament. This was the third meeting between the two players and first time that the Irish shuttler got better of Lakshya, who had won the previous two clashes in straight games. The Indian had a poor start to the game as Nhat took a big lead of five points after the mid-game interval, which Lakshya could not recover from despite winning four points on a trot. He conceded it 18-21. Lakshya bounced back well in the second game, winning it easily by 21-9 to force a decider. However, he could not continue the momentum and lost his final game 17-21, ending his run in the tournament. In the women’s singles, Aakarshi Kashyap and Unnati Hooda progressed to the second …

PV Sindhu loses on return, Malvika stuns world no 23

Published by Webster

It was not a happy return to the BWF circuit for double Olympic medalist PV Sindhu as she was completely outplayed by Michelle Li of Canada in the first round of the Arctic Open Super 750 tournament on Tuesday. PV Sindhu lost to Michelle in straight games 21-16, 21-10. This was Sindhu’s first tournament after the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sindhu completely looked out of ideas as she was unable to find any rhythm and her decision-making was poor in the first game. The first game started close with Li leading 6-4. However, Li raced to a big lead of 11-4 aided by Sindhu’s errors on the net and inability to retrieve smashes. The momentum Li gained with the big lead powered her to the first game win 21-16. In the second game, Li gave Sindhu no chance and led 11-2 at the mid-game interval. When they returned, Sindhu tried to fight back but Li won the game 21-10 and knocked out PV Sindhu on her return to the BWF circuit. Malvika stuns world no. 23, …
