New Delhi, Jan 16 : It was a double delight for India as World championship bronze medallist Lakshya Sen and doubles specialists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty bagged their first Yonex-Sunrise India Open titles here on Sunday. India's up and coming men's singles star Sen defeated current World Champion Loh Kean Yew in straight games 24-22, 21-17, while Satwik and Chirag got the better of top seeds Hendra Setiawan and Mohammad Ahsan 21-16, 24-22 to win the coveted titles. The men's singles final was definitely the marquee match of the day with two world championships medallists facing off for the fourth time this year. Sen, who had won the bronze medal in his debut world championship last month, was first to get off the blocks as he controlled the rallies brilliantly and put Loh under pressure. He soon raced to a 16-9 lead and though Loh began to find his rhythm, the Indian looked in total control as he had a five-point advantage at 19-14. But the world champion wasn't going to just fold up and he turned the tables on the Indian by clinching six straight points to earn a game point. Sen saved two of them, wasted one himself but kept his cool to clinch the second and changed ends with a definite advantage. The second game started on a more even keel as both players engaged in long rallies. The Singaporean upped the pace from the start but to Sen's credit, he was up to the task. The Indians were patient in the rallies and his opponent made mistakes under pressure. At the same time, Sen was always ready to unleash his big cross-court smashes and that ensured that Loh could never breathe easy. And those smashes, one to the left and the other to Loh's right, clinched Sen his champion point and a place in history. "It was a crucial first game. I was leading and then it became 20-20. But I managed to pull out the first game and it gave me a lot of confidence," Sen said after the match. Speaking about the overall tournament, the 20-year-old said, "I didn't come with a lot of expectations in this tournament as I didn't get a lot of practice after the world championship. But I came into the final with a much better rhythm as I played a few good three-game matches and I played more freely in the final today." Earlier, Satwik and Chirag displayed nerves of steel and even put their more illustrious opponents under pressure with their tactics to clinch the men's doubles title. Aware of their opponent's prowess to play quick points, Chirag and Satwik had a clear game plan of playing longer rallies. That meant they were prepared to play softer net strokes and even lift the shuttle high to force the Indonesians into making mistakes. But they also prepared to counter the top-seeds' game of playing flat rallies in the middle at the start and that allowed them to keep pace with the Indonesians at the start. It was in the 15th point in the opening game that they managed to push the rally longer. The approach was to tire their senior opponents and Chirag/Satwik were willing to lose points but stick to the plan. It allowed Setiawan and Ahsan to win a few quick points in the opening game and close the gap at 13-13. But Satwik's big smashes bailed them out and helped them run away with the opening game. The second game was neck-and-neck throughout as the Indonesians began taking more risks. Even Setiawan tried to go for the big smashes to unsettle the Indians but to their credit, Chirag and Satwik stood strong in defence. However, the Indonesians used all their experience to overturn a 14-18 deficit to earn their first game point. It was a tense affair from there on as both the combinations were guilty of making errors while looking for quick points. Setiawan once served in the net while Ahsan fouled while going for a flick serve on game point and the Indians kept on the pressure with some fantastic shot selections. They ultimately wrapped up the match in 43 minutes, having saved five game points to begin the new season with a title triumph. Speaking about the five gamepoints in the second game, Satwik said, "We knew they were tired and would take risks. So, we kept things tight and it worked." Earlier, second seed Busanan Ongbamrungphan of Thailand had to dig deep before beating compatriot Supanida Katethong 22-'0, 19-21, 21-13 to clinch the women's singles title. Thailand's Benyapa and Nuntakarn Aimsaard defeated Russia's Anastasiia Akchurina and Olga Morozova 21-13, 21-15 to win the women's doubles title while Singaporean husband-wife combination of Hee Yong Kai terry and Tan Wei Han upset Malaysian third seeds Chen Tang Jie and Peck Yen Wei 21-15, 21-18 in the mixed doubles final. - /IANS
