Ayush Shetty, a 20-year-old Indian badminton player, captured his first senior BWF World Tour title by defeating Canada’s Brian Yang 21‑18, 21‑13 in 47 minutes to win the US Open Super 300 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The towering 6′4″ athlete, world No. 31 and India’s second-ranked man, displayed powerful jump-smashes, stellar court coverage, and tactical precision. Earlier, he stunned world No. 6 Chou Tien Chen in a dramatic semifinal comeback. Trained at the Prakash Padukone Academy, Shetty’s triumph ends India’s tour title drought in 2025 and signals a rising new force in men’s singles. (PC: X & India Today)
