Ayush Shetty produced a sensational victory over former world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore, while HS Prannoy also advanced to the second round of the $240,000 Orleans Masters.

World No. 42 Ayush, the 2023 World Junior Championships bronze medallist, stunned third seed Loh 21-17 21-9. Prannoy, returning after a long layoff due to illness, fought for 79 minutes to defeat Wang Tzu Wei of Chinese Taipei 21-11 20-22 21-9.

In mixed doubles, Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde beat Chinese Taipei’s Ye Hong Wei and Nicole Chan 20-22 24-22 21-16.

However, Kiran George and Unnati Hooda failed to progress past the first round in singles. Malvika Bansod retired midway in her opening match.

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).
