"french-open"

There had been some doubt after a lopsided loss at the Italian Open two weeks ago whether he would even enter the clay-court event in Paris at all.

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, the World No. 1 badminton pair, described their BWF French Open final triumph in Paris as particularly satisfying, crediting their strong performance at the venue.

According to Olympics.com, the world number 11 Indian won the first game but lost the next two to the second-ranked shuttler from China in a 92-minute match, ending with scores of 24-22, 17-21, 18-21.

In the decider game, Sindhu was all over Zhang, taking the lead of 11-7 with cross-court service and playing mostly on the nets.

PV Sindhu was leading by a game before she conceded her French Open second round women's singles match against Thailand's Supanida Katethong due to a knee injury.

Rain washed out the night action, which was supposed to feature Washington-area native Francis Tiafoe, followed by No. 1 seed Taylor Fritz against three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray.
