<p>Following Sindhu’s match against China’s Gao Fang Jie, the men’s singles match will feature an all-Indian contest between third seed Sen and the talented 19-year-old S Sankar Muthusamy from Chennai.</p>
<p>The 2022 World Junior Championships silver medalist’s excellent run has included a valiant 21-18 21-23 21-13 victory against Israel’s Misha Zilberman.</p>
<p>In contrast to Sung, who was unable to really push the Indian throughout the match, Sindhu didn’t exert much effort. Early on, Sindhu went out to a 7-2 advantage that she later increased to 13-5.</p>
<p>Sung was able to reduce the lead to 11–14, but Sindhu put an end to any hopes of a comeback by controlling the rallies and ultimately winning the match.</p>
<p>After the switch of sides, Sung originally began to match the Indian as she held a slim 5-3 lead, but it quickly vanished as Sindhu broke off from 7-7 to advance.</p>
<p>At the half, Sindhu led 11-8, and she maintained her advantage while Sung lost her composure. From 16-12, Sindhu effortlessly racked up the last points.</p>
<p>Sen too quickly moved out to a 6-1 lead and then quickly increased that margin to 17-5 to eliminate his opponent in the first game. But in the second game, the 39-year-old Czech had a stunning comeback that was difficult for Sen.</p>
<p>Jan had leads of 8–5 and 19–14 when there was a chance for a turnaround, but Sen produced an incredible comeback with five points to tie the game at 19–19. After numerous close rallies, Sen then saved a game point to end the game.</p>
