In a promising start at the French Open Super 750, Indian badminton duo Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde claimed victory over the Ukrainian team of Oleksii Titov and Yevheniia Kantemyr, securing a 21-12, 21-19 win.

Conversely, Lakshya Sen faced an early exit in men's singles, losing 7-21, 16-21 to Ireland's Nhat Nguyen in the opening round. Despite his recent final appearance at the Hong Kong Open, Sen struggled with consistency and precision.

The pair is set to face France's Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue next, while Sen reflects on a game filled with unforced errors and missed opportunities, particularly as Nhat's strategic execution led to an insurmountable lead and an eventual victory.
