Indin ace Lakshya Sen progressed through to his fourth semi-final of the year at the 2025 Australian Open Super 500 in Sydney, on Friday. In an all-Indian quarterfinal matchup, the 24-year-old got the better of his younger compatriot Ayush Shetty in a straight-game affair, 23-21, 21-11. This was the second international meeting between the two Indians after the Hong Kong Open 2025, with Lakshya now keeping the head-to-head record by 2-0. In a topsy-turvy opening game, Lakshya was pushed to all corners by Ayush, but still the former managed to edge past his younger compatriot on extra points. However, Ayush could not continue the same fight in the second game as Lakshya showed more precision and maintained a lead throughout the game to reach the semis. This will be Lakshya’s second consecutive semi-final after last week’s Korea Masters, but this time he will want to take this forward by winning against Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in semis on Saturday.

As synod progresses, Church panel seeks end to rebellion over Mass issue

As synod progresses, Church panel seeks end to rebellion over Mass issue

As the 33rd synod of bishops of the Syro-Malabar Church entered the fourth day on Thursday (January 9), the Church media commission sent out an appeal to the rebels to end their protest and reconcile with the Church authorities on the issue of unified Mass. Accepting the reality that 34 dioceses of the Syro-Malabar Church have adopted the unified Mass, the group still protesting against the Mass should join the path of reconciliation for the good of the Church, said the commission in a social media posting. The commission also said that the Church could not go back on the unified Mass and criticised the alleged misuse of funds to rally the faithful and foster animosity. Therefore, it was important to abandon the protests for the good of the Church, the appeal added. Meanwhile, the police attempted to remove a group of rebel priests who had allegedly entered the archbishop’s house in the city on Thursday. The rebels began a fast at the archbishop’s house demanding the dismissal of the newly constituted curia of the …
