China reaches finals in 4 events at badminton Japan Open
BEIJING, July 19 (Xinhua) -- China advanced to the finals in four out of five events at the badminton Japan Open after Saturday's semifinals in Tokyo, only missing out in men's doubles. Top Chinese men's singles player Shi Yuqi, now the highest seed remaining after the early exits of the top two seeds, secured his final berth by beating French shuttler Christo Popov. Shi, who has experienced fluctuating form this year due to gastrointestinal issues, dominated the first game 21-12. The second game proved far tougher, with Shi saving three game points before clinching it 28-26. Shi will face defending champion Alex Lanier of France in Sunday's final. Lanier had ever defeated Shi in last year's semifinals on the way to claiming his first career BWF World Tour Super 750 title. The women's singles final will feature the tournament's top two seeds. World No. 1 An Se-young of South Korea cruised past Japan's Riko Gunji 21-12, 21-10 as she seeks her sixth title of the year. She will face China's second seed Wang Zhiyi, who defeated home favorite Akane Yamaguchi 21-15, 21-18. In the women's doubles semifinal, China's pair of Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning defeated compatriots Zhang Shuxian and Zheng Yu 21-7, 21-16. They will play Malaysia's Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan for the title. In the mixed doubles, Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin defeated Malaysia's Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei 21-12, 21-16. They will face Thailand's Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Supissara Paewsampran in the final. The men's doubles final will be contested between Malaysia's Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin and South Korea's Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae.

Happy return for SatChi, injury woes for Lakshya
CHENNAI: It was a mixed day for India in the ongoing Singapore Open tournament. The doubles duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty made a winning return while singles specialist Lakshya Sen was forced to retire mid-match due to lower back pain on Wednesday. Later, the women's doubles combination of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand also won their tie to advance to the second round. From India's perspective, there was much interest on Satwik and Chirag at the BWF World Tour Super 750 event as they had been out of action for a little over two months due to injury. But it was Lakshya who entered the court first (Court 1) for his men's singles tie against Lin Chun-Yi of Chinese Taipei. Having pocketed the first game, Lakshya had made an ideal start. But he couldn't sustain the momentum and conceded the second game before injury troubles hit him. The score read 21-15, 17-21, 5-13 when Lakshya retired. "Lakshya had to retire from his Singapore Open match due to lower back pain and spasm, which he had been experiencing since last Saturday during practice. Despite trying his best, he wasn't fully fit. The pain worsened during the match, and to prevent further injury, he pulled out of the third set. Our team will now focus on his recovery for upcoming tournaments," Lakshya's father and coach DK Sen told this daily in a statement. Soon after that, it was Satwik and Chirag's turn to take the court. Returning to action for the first time since the All England Championship, the men's doubles duo eased past Malaysian duo of Choong Hon Jian and Muhammad Haikal 21-16, 21-13.
