Unnati HoodaIn a major upset at the 2025 China Open Super 1000, 17-year-old Unnati Hooda defeated two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu in a hard-fought three-game match (21-16, 19-21, 21-13). This marked Hooda’s first-ever quarterfinal appearance in a Super 1000 event and her maiden victory over a fellow Indian in an international tournament. Known for her speed and precision, Hooda outplayed Sindhu, who struggled with unforced errors in the deciding game.

Hooda, a two-time Super 100 champion, is now set to face Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi in the next round.

Why is the anticipated face-off between Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem at the Diamond League in Poland uncertain in August 2025?
Arshad Nadeem underwent calf surgeryThe much-anticipated showdown between Neeraj Chopra and Arshad Nadeem at the Diamond League in Silesia, Poland, in August 2025 is in doubt because Arshad Nadeem recently underwent surgery on his calf muscle in England. The procedure was performed by Dr. Ali Bajwa at Spire Hospital in Cambridge to address a persistent injury. Nadeem’s coach, Salman Butt, stated that the Olympic champion is now focused on recovering in time for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in September. As a result, Nadeem may skip both the Poland and Switzerland Diamond League events. This is significant because the duo had planned to renew their rivalry one year after Nadeem won gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics with a 92.97m throw.

His remarks sparked national debate on gender roles in sports and society, with many condemning his views as outdated and harmful.
