Fullerton (US)- India's campaign at the BWF US Open got off to an impressive start as rising stars Tanvi Sharma and Devika Sihag, along with seasoned shuttler Kidambi Srikanth and youngster Rounak Chouhan, secured convincing victories to advance to the second round on Thursday (IST).
World Junior Championships silver medallist Tanvi Sharma overcame Germany's Yvonne Li 23-21, 21-16 in the women's singles opening round, while Thailand Masters champion Devika Sihag comfortably defeated Peru's Ines Lucia Castillo 21-14, 21-14.
In an all-Indian men's singles contest, emerging talent Rounak Chouhan got the better of former World Junior Championships silver medallist S. Sankar Muthusamy, winning 23-21, 21-16.
Fifth seed Kidambi Srikanth also cruised into the next round after a dominant 21-14, 21-12 victory over compatriot D. Saneeth. The experienced Indian wrapped up the match in just 30 minutes.
India also celebrated victories through Rakshitha Sree in the women's singles and the seventh-seeded mixed doubles pair of Dhruv Rawat and K. Maneesha.
Rakshitha outclassed Czech Republic's Tereza Svabikova 21-15, 21-8, while Rawat and Maneesha defeated Indonesia's Wirawan Ihsan Adam and Serena Kani 21-15, 21-16 in a brisk 26-minute contest.
Earlier, on the opening day of the tournament, India's women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand began their campaign on a winning note, fighting past Spain's Paula Lopez and Lucia Rodriguez to book a place in the second round.
Treesa and Gayatri are India's only representatives in the women's doubles draw. The pair returned to international competition at the Indonesia Open earlier this month after Treesa completed a three-month rehabilitation following an injury.
India, however, has no entries in the men's doubles event as Asian Games champions Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty remain sidelined, with Satwik still recovering from the injury he suffered during the Indonesia Open.
Defending men's singles champion Ayush Shetty is not participating this year and will not defend the title he won in 2025. Former US Open champion HS Prannoy has also opted to skip the tournament.
