India Open Badminton: Prannoy defeats Wang Tzu Wei to enter semis

The Hindu  

Backed by a vociferous crowd, H. S. Prannoy navigated past a testing phase in the decider against a speedy Wang Tzu Wei for a place in his maiden semifinals of the India Open badminton here on Friday. In a tense third game, Prannoy bridged a 5-10 deficit to catch up at 14, surged ahead at 17-16 and converted a second match-point for a 21-17, 17-21, 21-19 triumph in 77 minutes. With the World No.1 Chinese pair of Liang Wei Keng and Wang Cheng knocked out after facing their Thai rivals late last night, the Indian pair is the new favourite for the title. Undeterred, Prannoy clawed back to win seven of the next eight points, closed the gap to 16-17 but lost four of the last five points to find himself in yet another decider.
