Rankireddy and Shetty, who had finished runners-up in the Hong Kong Open 2025 last week, outclassed China’s Ren Xiang Yu and Xie Haonan 21-14, 21-14 in 38 minutes during their quarterfinal clash.

This continued another mixed day for India in the event as singles star P.V. Sindhu was ousted from the USD 1,250,000 prize money tournament, losing to top seed An Se Young of Korea in straight games in their quarterfinal clash.
