Jun Hao Upsets Li Shifeng at Indian Open 2025

Leong Jun Hao of Malaysia achieved a remarkable upset at the Indian Open 2025 by defeating China's world No. 6, Li Shifeng, in a thrilling first-round match. The match, held at the KD Jadhav Indoor Stadium in New Delhi, lasted an exhausting 78 minutes, with Jun Hao securing victory with scores of 18-21, 21-17, and 21-17. This win marks a significant milestone for Jun Hao, as it is his first victory over Shifeng after losing all four of their previous encounters, including a tough match in the Japan Masters final last November.

Following this victory, Jun Hao is set to face another Chinese player, world No. 21 Weng Hongyang, in the next round, with a spot in the quarter-finals on the line. This matchup promises to be another challenging test for Jun Hao as he looks to build on his momentum from the upset.

In the mixed doubles category, the top-seeded Chinese pair of Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping have withdrawn from the tournament. This withdrawal has allowed Malaysia's Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei to take their place as the top seeds. While this news does not directly involve ongoing matches, it highlights the absence of a prominent Chinese duo from the competition.

Overall, the Indian Open 2025 has seen significant developments, particularly with Jun Hao's stunning performance against Li Shifeng, setting the stage for an exciting tournament ahead.
