Japan Open Badminton 2025 Live Streaming: How to watch Lakshya Sen, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty in action
Japan Open Badminton 2025 Live Streaming Online: PV Sindhu became the first big name from the Indian contingent to be eliminated from the Japan Open Super 750 tournament, losing against Korea's Sim Yu Jin in a first-round match on Wednesday. But the Indian contingent still has plenty of hope floating in the air with stars like Lakshya Sen and the Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty breezing into the next round at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. Lakshya defeated world No 24 from China, the left-handed Wang Zheng Xing, while in men's doubles, Satwik-Chirag overcame a tricky opening-round test against Kang Min Hyuk (half of the World Championship-winning Kang-Seo Seung Jae pairing) and Ki Dong Ju. After setting up a second-round clash with Japanese star Kodai Naraoka, Lakshya said: 'It feels really good to win a match. I've been struggling on the court and off the court with niggles, which are keeping me away from badminton. It's frustrating, the last few months, but I'm focussed and trying to do the right thing. I've been training well over the last few months. There were certain shoulder and ankle injuries. I was doing everything else to protect those parts. I've put in some good training weeks, and I'm just hoping that I get back to winning ways and play more matches. Play freely, win or lose, just go there and fight.'
