Indonesia Open 2025: Karunakaran-Variyath pair keeps India's hope alive in mixed doubles
Sathish Kumar Karunakaran and Aadya Variyath entered the mixed doubles second round of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 badminton tournament but all other Indian pairs in the draw exited after opening losses here on Wednesday. Sathish and Variyath rallied to beat Chinese Taipei's Ye Hong-Wei and Nicole Gonzales Chan 15-21, 21-16, 21-17 in a tough opening round contest that lasted 45 minutes. But there was heartbreak for other Indian pairs in the event as they failed to progress to the next round. Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde were shown the door by the Japanese combination of Yuichi Shimogami and Sayaka Hobara 14-21, 9-21. Ashith Surya and Amrutha Pramuthesh lost 15-21, 9-21 to Denmark's Mads Vestergaard and Christine Busch. Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto also had to endure the same fate as they lost 11-21, 21-16, 14-21 against second seeds Tang Jie Chen and Ee Wei Toh of Malaysia.

APGC Junior Championship: Ranveer, Krish finish fifth in boys' team competition; Saanvi, Kashika end eighth in girls' team event
New Delhi [India], May 30 (ANI): Indian amateurs Ranveer Mitroo and Krish Chawla registered a fifth-place finish in the boys' team competition after posting a combined total of four-over 430 in the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC) Junior Championship here at the Hong Kong Golf Club on Thursday. The Chinese pair of Jin Heng Yan and Jin Han won the boys' team title with a tally of four under 422. Rainy weather conditions made it difficult for lower scores. However, Ranveer continued his golden run in the event by submitting a modest two-over 73 in the third and final round to finish sixth in the individual event. His overall total read two-under 211, the best among the four-member team sent by the Indian Golf Union (IGU). Krish finished 22nd with a three-round total of six-over 219. New Zealand's Cooper Moore clinched the boys' individual title by a two-stroke margin over Tuan Anh Nguyen of Vietnam with a three-day total of nine-under 204. Ranveer, 16, felt that the tournament offered him an 'invaluable learning experience' and that he gained a better understanding of his strengths and areas of growth. 'Competing in a field like the APGC Juniors has given me a significant confidence boost. Being surrounded by talented players and experiencing the competitive atmosphere has motivated me to push my limits. I realised that I can hold my own against strong competitors, which has reinforced my belief in my abilities,' Ranveer said later. 'The support from the Indian Golf Union has been instrumental in my development as a golfer. They provide access to competitive opportunities that are crucial for my growth,' the 16-year-old added. In the individual girls' event, Saanvi Somu carded a two-over 74 in the final round to end her campaign in a creditable 10th place. Her compatriot, still recovering from illness, posted an improved three-over-75 to finish the tournament in 19th position. The Indian pair of Kashika and Saanvi finished eighth with a combined score of 16-over 448. In the mixed team event, the Indian pair of Krish and Saanvi ended their campaign in 13th position at 11-over 437. (ANI)
