India's Lakshya Sen pulls off upset, beats China’s Shi Yu Qi at All England Open Badminton Championships In a stunning upset, India's rising badminton star Lakshya Sen scripted history by defeating world No. 2 and top-seeded Chinese shuttler Shi Yu Qi in the quarterfinals of the All England Open Badminton Championships on Friday. The unseeded Indian youngster played with remarkable composure and skill to beat the heavily fancied Chinese player 21-15, 10-21, 21-14, in a match that lasted for 53 minutes. Sen's victory is a huge upset, considering Shi Yu Qi has been one of the most dominant players on the circuit in recent years. The Indian shuttler was visibly nervous at the start of the match but once he settled into his game, he began to dictate terms and take control of the rallies. Sen's exceptional net play and clever positioning allowed him to pick off Shi Yu Qi's smashes with ease, leaving the Chinese player struggling to keep up.

Sen's coach, Muthyapriya, praised his ward's performance, saying, "Lakshya has been working hard for this moment. He played with a lot of passion and determination, and it paid off."

All England: Sen Topples Top Seed Shi In a stunning upset, Indian shuttler H.S. Prannoy pulled off an impressive victory over top seed Shi Yuqi of China in the men's singles quarterfinals at the Yonex All England Open on Thursday. Prannoy, seeded 14th, played with great determination and skill to defeat Shi 21-16, 21-18 in a thrilling match that lasted for nearly an hour. The Indian shuttler's victory was his first over a top seed at the All England Open, which is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the badminton calendar. Shi, who had been looking to make it to the semifinals for the second consecutive year, struggled with Prannoy's clever shot selection and strong net play. The Chinese shuttler, known for his powerful smashes, was unable to find any rhythm in the match and committed several unforced errors. Prannoy, on the other hand, played a measured game, using his experience and guile to outmaneuver Shi. He took advantage of every opportunity that came his way, including a crucial net drop shot in the second game that left Shi stunned. The win is a significant boost for Prannoy's career, as he looks to make it to the semifinals for the first time at the All England Open. The Indian shuttler has been plagued by injuries and inconsistent form in recent years, but his performance on Thursday showed that he still has what it takes to compete with the best players in the world. Prannoy will next face Denmark's Rasmus Gemke, who defeated Thailand's Kantaphon Wangcharoen 21-14, 19-21, 21-15 in another thrilling quarterfinal match.#Shi_Yuqi #Rasmus_Gemke #HS_Prannoy #Yonex_All_England_Open #Kantaphon_Wangcharoen
