China Open: Prannoy Exits In Round Of 16, India's Campaign In Men's Singles Ends
Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium: India's campaign in the men's singles section of the BWF China Open came to a screeching end with H.S. Prannoy slumping to defeat against sixth seed Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei in a Round-of-16 clash at the Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium here on Thursday.
Prannoy, who was the lone Indian in the fray in this top-tier event on the BWF World Series, went down to the 35-year-old World No. 9 player in hard-fought three games, going down 21-18, 15-21, 8-21 in the clash played out on Court 2 that lasted 65 minutes.
The 33-year-old Prannoy established an early lead in the first game as he opened up a 6-2 lead, and though the Chinese Taipei shuttler had levelled scores at 9-9, the Indian star kept his nose ahead to eventually quell another fightback from his opponent (19-18) to win the game 21-18.
