Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen have successfully moved to the second round of the BWF Hylo Open in Saarbrucken, Germany. This Super 500 tournament saw several Indian players progress, while some faced early exits.

Sindhu, the second seed in women's singles, continued her strong form after her recent French Open final appearance. She dominated UAE's Prakriti Bharath, securing a comfortable 21-10, 21-10 victory in just 28 minutes. On the men's side, seventh seed Lakshya Sen displayed resilience. After losing the first game to Finland's Joakim Oldorff, Sen rallied to win 16-21, 21-9, 21-13 in a match lasting just over an hour.

However, it was a tough outing for HS Prannoy, who was eliminated after a straight-sets loss to France's sixth-seeded Toma Junior Popov, 21-23, 16-21. Kiran George also advanced, defeating Malaysia's Cheam June Wei 21-18, 21-17. In other women's singles matches, Unnati Hooda recovered from a slow start to win 17-21, 21-12, 21-11 against Tereza Svabikova. Isharani Baruah and Anmol Kharb also secured wins, while Malvika Bansod triumphed in an all-Indian clash against Devika Sihag.
