Both Indian badminton stars PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen have performed brilliantly in the HiLo Open Super 500 tournament to reach the finals stage. The Indian badminton stars won their semi-finals bouts in straight games in Saarbrücken, Germany on Saturday. With this performance, India has a good chance of winning in both the women's and men's singles events. The Indian badminton player PV Sindhu beat compatriot Anmol Kharab in straight games 21-13, 21-16. Meanwhile, Lakshya Sen beat world number 13 Toma Junior Popov of France in straight games 21-17, 21-13.

As a two-time Olympic medallist, Sindhu has played brilliantly again. She did not provide any opportunity to 19-year-old Anmol Kharab in women's singles semi-finals bout. Though Anmol led in the first game, Sindhu, playing aggressively with all her experience, recovered from her and won the first game 21-13.

In the second game, there was a tough fight between the two badminton players. For a while, Anmol led 15-13. But PV Sindhu continuously made points for herself to make the score 15-15. She extended her lead and won the second game 21-16.

After the victory, Sindhu said, "I was playing against them after a long time. It was good to see two Indian players reach the semi-finals. However, for me, who the opponent is or what their ranking is doesn't matter." I was just playing my game and giving my 100%. I'm happy I made it to the final." Sindhu will face eighth-seeded Line Hojmark Kjaersfeldt of Denmark in the final.

In the men's singles semi-finals, Lakshya Sen defeated France's Toma Junior Popov 21-17, 21-13. Lakshya had been going through a rough patch since reaching the final of the All England Championships this year. Injury and fitness issues had also affected his performance.

However, he made a remarkable comeback in Germany. Popov challenged Lakshya in the first game, but the Indian player won the game 21-17 thanks to his defensive skills and accurate smashes. In the second game, Lakshya maintained the pressure from the start. He took a four-point lead at the break and later extended it to seven. Finally, with a brilliant smash, he sealed the match.

Lakshya said, "I had some injury problems at times and was out of action for some time. I wasn't fully fit in some tournaments. But I'm happy with my performance here. It's great for my confidence. I haven't played so many matches in a row in the last few months."

He further said, "I'm very happy to reach another final. For the first time since the All England Championships, I feel like I'm playing my best badminton again. I feel like I'm getting back into my rhythm." Lakshya will face the winner of the second semi-final between fourth-seeded Jonatan Christie of Indonesia and top-seeded Anders Antonsen of Denmark in the final.
