Unheralded Ayush Shetty continued his dream run at the Orleans Masters, advancing to the quarterfinals, while former world No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy bowed out in the second round. Shetty, who has a world ranking of 48, stunned Hong Kong’s world No. 38 Jason Gunawan with a 21-17 21-17 victory in 50 minutes. Shetty had earlier shocked former world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore.

Kidambi Srikanth faced top seed Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia and suffered a 11-21 17-21 defeat in 30 minutes. Prannoy lost to second seed Lin Chun-yi of Chinese Taipei 18-21 9-21 in 37 minutes.

In the mixed doubles event, Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde received a walkover into the quarterfinals.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
