At the Singapore Open 2026, India's badminton stars PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, the men's doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, and the mixed doubles pair of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto have all advanced to the quarterfinals. PV Sindhu displayed her prowess by defeating Japan's Riko Gunji in straight games, maintaining control throughout the match, which lasted just 37 minutes. She is set to face the top seed An Se-young next. In men's singles, Lakshya Sen progressed after Thailand's Kunlavut Vitidsarn retired early in their match. Satwik and Chirag, seeded fourth, had a tough battle against the Chinese Taipei pair but managed to win 21-18 in the deciding game, marking their seventh consecutive victory over this opponent. They will next meet Malaysia's Kang Khai Xing and Aaron Tai, who previously bested them in the All England Open. In mixed doubles, Dhruv and Tanisha made a strong comeback after losing the first game to defeat their Japanese opponents and will face the third-seeded Malaysian pair in the quarterfinals.
