New Delhi: Top Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen won their respective singles titles at the Hylo Open 2026 badminton tournament on Sunday.

In the women’s singles final, Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medallist, defeated world No. 25 Line Kjærsfeldt of Denmark in straight sets, 21-12, 21-14. It took Sindhu just 38 minutes to secure the victory at the Saarlandhalle in Saarbrücken, Germany, according to reports.

Sindhu claimed her second title of the season, following her triumph at the Japan Open Super 750 in July.

That victory had ended her wait for an individual title since December 2024. With her latest success, she has taken her career tally to seven BWF World Tour titles.

Meanwhile, in the men’s singles final, seventh seed and world No. 14 Lakshya Sen registered a convincing 21-17, 21-10 victory over Indonesia’s Jonatan Christie, who is ranked sixth in the world.

This was Sen’s second Hylo Open title.
