Thailand Masters champion Devika Sihag upset Japan’s third seed Riko Gunji, while Rounak Chouhan continued his impressive run to reach the US Open semifinals.
Thailand Masters champion Devika Sihag produced a standout performance to knock out third seed Riko Gunji of Japan, while Rounak Chouhan extended his impressive run to book a place in the semifinals of the US Open badminton tournament on Friday. Devika held her composure at crucial moments in both games to secure a hard-fought 22-20, 21-19 victory over Gunji in the women’s singles quarterfinals. Chouhan, meanwhile, continued his fine form with a commanding 23-21, 21-11 win over Israel’s Misha Zilberman in just 38 minutes, advancing to his maiden BWF World Tour Super 300 men’s singles semifinal.
Former world No. 1 K Srikanth also progressed to the last four, overcoming Chinese Taipei’s Liao Jhuo-Fu 21-9, 12-21, 21-8 in a three-game contest. His victory keeps alive the possibility of an all-Indian men’s singles final.
Chouhan will next face eighth seed Su Li Yang of Chinese Taipei in the semifinals, while Srikanth is set to meet Japan’s fourth seed Yudai Okimoto.
In the women’s singles, Devika will take on Denmark’s second seed Line Christophersen, who defeated India’s Tanvi Sharma 21-16, 11-21, 21-11 in the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Rakshitha Sree’s campaign came to an end after she suffered a 15-21, 21-16, 12-21 defeat to Canada’s Rachel Chan in the quarterfinals.
