Saarbrucken, Oct. 31 -- Indian shuttlers Ayush Shetty, Lakshya Sen, Kiran George and Rakshitha Ramesh stormed into the quarter-finals of the ongoing Hylo Open 2025 after winning their respective games of the competition here on Thursday.

Competing in the BWF Super 500 badminton tournament at the Saarlandhalle, the 20-year-old Ayush Shetty, 31st in the badminton rankings, stunned the 2021 world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore 21-11, 21-11 in 34 minutes.

Ayush had also beaten Loh Kean Yew at the Orleans Masters earlier this year. He trailed 5-2 in the first game on Thursday, but the Indian badminton player mounted a comeback with seven straight points before gradually building on that momentum.
