In the end the vast experience of Tien Chen could not take on a player half his age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Rounak is only 18-years-old while Tien Chen, the former world championships bronze medallist, is 36. The Indian shuttler was just 10-years-old when Tien Chen won his fist BWF Tour title at the German Open in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">While Tien Chen has won 11 Tour titles, has been a mainstay in the circuit despite having been diagnosed with early-stage colorectal cancer in 2023 and underwent a colectomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It was Rouhan\u2019s first ever win over a top-10 player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the opening game, Rounak found himself trailing 15-17 against the former World Tour Finals champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Displaying impressive shot selection and fearless attacking play, he strung together a series of crucial points to overturn the deficit and claim the opener 21-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Tien Chen again dominated the early stages of the second game, taking a 17-11 lead. Rounak mounted an extraordinary comeback, gradually narrowing the gap through disciplined rallies and confident net play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Rounak saved four game points before eventually edging the contest 26-24, completing one of the finest victories by an Indian youngster in recent memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Indian youngster will play Misha Zilberman in the quarter-finals after the Israeli defeated Malaysia\u2019s Cheam June Wei 21-15, 21-19 in his second round match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">India\u2019s veteran Kidambi Srikanth, the fifth seed packed off Lee Zii Jia 21-14, 21-13, confining the Malaysian to another early defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Men\u2019s doubles second seeds Chen Zhi Yi-Presley Smith were outplayed by Taiwanese Lai Po Yu-Tsai Fu Cheng. The unseeded Taiwanese duo stepped into the quarter-finals with a comfortable 21-19, 21-10 in just 36-minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Japan\u2019s unseeded Sayaka Hirota-Ayako Sakuramoto stopped women\u2019s doubles fourth seeds Francesca Corbett-Jennie Gai 24-22, 20-22, 21-16 after a marathon 83-minute to book their places in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the mixed doubles, Taiwanese Liu Kuang Heng-Hsu Yin-Hui pulled off an upset 21-11, 24-22 win over the fourth seeded Japanese duo of Akira Koga-Natsu Saito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Also out are the seventh seeded Indian pairing of Dhruv Rawat-Maneesha K, who were beaten 24-22, 23-25, 15-21 by Denmark\u2019s Kristoffer Kolding-Mette Werge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>SECOND ROUND RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Men\u2019s singles: <\/strong>Brian Yang (Can) bt Riki Takei (Jpn) 21-19, 21-17;
