Indian shuttler Ayush Shetty admitted that he was outplayed by China’s Shi Yuqi in the men’s singles final at the Badminton Asia Championships 2026 on Sunday in Ningbo.

The 20-year-old Ayush fell to a quick 8-21, 10-21 defeat in a summit clash which was wrapped up in 42 minutes.

“As for the final, I’m a bit disappointed. I really wanted to have a great match but Shi Yuqi was by far the better player. He really kept the pressure going and never let me come back into the match,” the Indian said after the match.

“Definitely, there have been lot of learnings from the tournament. I have to work on my endurance and strength, and my variations from the back. It’s a good lesson for me,” he concluded.

Barring the loss in the summit clash, it was a memorable week for World No. 25 Ayush who became the seventh Indian to win a men’s singles medal at the event after Dinesh Khanna (gold in 1965 and bronze in 1969), Suresh Goel (bronze in 1965), Prakash Padukone (bronze in 1976), Pullela Gopichand (bronze in 2000), Anup Sridhar (bronze in 2007) and H. S. Prannoy (bronze in 2018).

Ayush Shetty’s impressive campaign at the Badminton Asia Championships 2026 continued on Saturday as he stunned defending champion and World No. 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn, becoming only the second Indian ever to reach the men’s singles final at the continental event.

Dinesh Khanna had won gold at the 1965 edition. Since then, Khanna (1969), Suresh Goel (1965), Prakash Padukone (1976), Pullela Gopichand (2000), Anup Sridhar (2007) and H. S. Prannoy (2018) have all won bronze medals.

World No. 25 Ayush upset Thailand’s Vitidsarn 10-21, 21-19, 21-17 in an hour and 15 minutes in Ningbo, China, to reach the summit clash where he’ll face either second-seeded Chinese Shi Yu Qi or Chou Tien Chen, the fourth-seeded player from Chinese Taipei.

It was the second meeting between Ayush and Vitidsarn. They had previously faced each other during last year’s Arctic Open where the Thai shuttler had triumphed 21-15, 21-16. Paris Olympics silver medallist Vitidsarn seemed to be on track to repeat that result in Ningbo as he dominated the Indian player to clinch the first game easily.

However, Ayush turned the tide as he strengthened his defence and kept a fair distance between him and Vitidsarn from the beginning. He led 11-4 at the mid-game interval and soon, earned six games points. But the 24-year-old Thai shuttler, a former World Champion, reeled off five points on the trot.

On the sixth attempt, Ayush finally got the job done with a down-the-line jump smash to take the second game.

In the decider, Ayush took a four-point lead going into the mid-game interval. He converted the second of his four match points to complete a famour win.

It has been a memorable week for Ayush, who had won the BWF World Junior Championships bronze medal in 2023. He began his campaign with an upset win over China’s Li Shi Feng, World No. 7, in straight games. He followed it up with a convincing 21-16, 21-12 victory over Chinese Taipei’s Chi Yu Jen, World No. 20.

In the quarterfinals, the reigning U.S. Open Champion defeated World No. 4 Jonatan Christie of Indonesia 23-21, 21-17.
