Rising shuttlers Ayush Shetty and Unnati Hooda ended their impressive runs at the Taipei Open Super 300 tournament on Saturday with semi-final finishes in the men's and women's singles respectively.

Shetty, a bronze medallist at the 2023 World Junior Championships, fought hard before going down 18-21, 17-21 to local favourite and World No.7 Chou Tien Chen.

Meanwhile, Hooda, the 2022 Odisha Masters and 2023 Abu Dhabi Masters winner, showed early promise against top seed and World No.8 Tomoka Miyazaki of Japan.

However, she couldn't sustain the momentum, ultimately losing 19-21, 11-21.
