Hong Kong Open: India enjoyed a memorable day at the Hong Kong Open 2025 as Lakshya Sen stormed into the men’s singles final while Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty ended their semifinal jinx to book a place in the men’s doubles summit clash here on Saturday.

With both entries confirmed, India is assured of a strong presence in Sunday’s final.

For Sen, the semifinal win marked a return to the big stage after a two-year wait. The 24-year-old overcame Chinese Taipei’s third seed Chou Tien Chen in straight games, 23-21, 22-20, in 56 minutes of high-intensity badminton.
