Malaysia Open: HS Prannoy Registers Comeback Win to Pip Lakshya Sen in All-Indian Thriller

News 18  

In-form HS Prannoy continued his sensational run as he outwitted compatriot Lakshya Sen in a pulsating three-game thriller in the Malaysia Open Super 1000 badminton tournament here on Wednesday. After zooming all the way to world number 8 in 2022, Prannoy lived up to his new status of being India’s best-ranked men’s singles player with a come-from-behind 22-24 21-12 21-18 victory over Sen, ranked 10th, in an edgy opening round contest that went for little over an hour. Soon Prannoy grabbed two game points at 21-20 and 22-21 but he too missed it as Sen eventually managed to nose ahead after grabbing another game point. A push on the back-line earned Prannoy three match points and he sealed it with another backhand block which kissed the line even though Sen looked clearly upset with the line call and flung his racquet in frustration.
