Good win by Kashyap but Guru could not convert it into an upset after winning the first game.

[sameerph]

Prannoy goes thru too.

In doubles Ashwini and Jwala won in straight games against a Korean pair

These are tomorrow's match-ups for us.

[R2] PARUPALLI Kashyap (IND,17) vs. (4) SON Wan Ho (Kor,5)
[R2] H. S. Prannoy (IND,14) vs. (2) Jan O JORGENSEN (DEN,2)
[R2] K. Srikanth (IND,4) vs. Tanongsak SAENSOMBOONSUK (THA,19)

[R2] Jwala GUTTA /Ashwini PONNAPPA (IND) vs. (3) WANG Xiaoli (CHN) / YU Yang


Srikanth and Prannoy beat their respective opponents 2 weeks back in India. Hope they repeat that although it will be a big ask for Prannoy against world no. 2. Kashyap also has a lot to prove having fallen behind some of his colleagues in recent weeks. Can he pull off an upset ?

[sameerph]

I told you that Kashyap has a point to prove and he did it with a superb win against the 4th seed.

[R2] PARUPALLI Kashyap (IND,17) d. (4) SON Wan Ho (Kor,5) 21-15 22-20

Now, Prannoy is starting out against second seed.

[sameerph]

Prannoy wins the first game 21-16.

Go Prannoy.

[sameerph]

And he wins the second game in even more comprehensive manner.

[R2] H. S. Prannoy (IND,14) d. (2) Jan O JORGENSEN (DEN,2) 21-16 21-8

Wins against world no.2 and world no. 5 both in straight games. Prannoy and Kashyap.

[sameerph]

Srikanth lost though as did Jwala and Ashwini in doubles.

[R2] K. Srikanth (IND,4) l. Tanongsak SAENSOMBOONSUK (THA,19) 15-21 20-22

[R2] Jwala GUTTA /Ashwini PONNAPPA (IND) l. (3) WANG Xiaoli (CHN) / YU Yang 22-24 18-21

It does look like a day of upsets as apart from 2 upsets caused by the Indians, top seed Chen Long got upset by Honkong's Hu Yun. There is only 1 seed left in the mens singles draw - Victor Axelson who is yet to play his second round match. If he loses, there will be no seed in QF. Quite an open chance for anyone to grab the title.

please someone make a video topic somewhere. I am tired of searching them on youtube.

Axelson lost in the second round too. So, no seed left at all in the QF of mens singles.

[QF] H. S. Prannoy (IND,14) vs. Kento MOMOTA (JPN,10)

[QF] PARUPALLI Kashyap (IND,15) vs. Brice LEVERDEZ (FRA,32)

[arjun2761]

Fantastic wins for our players in the QFs, hopefully one of them can now go on and win the title!

[Sin Hombre]

As easy as it gets at this level for Kashyap; while Prannoy plays the third best of the u25 generation in Momota. The latter rivalry will be one to watch for going forward.

[sameerph]

Damn, Prannoy had to withdraw from his SF due to foot injury sustained in his QF win over Jorgensen. I was really expecting him to go deep this week, even a title as such a run is now due from him to follow in the footsteps of Srikanth. Now, it will have to wait for a while.

Hoping even more that Kashyap would win now.

[sameerph]

Not much of a problem for Kashyap in winning his match.

[QF] PARUPALLI Kashyap (IND,15) d. Brice LEVERDEZ (FRA,32) 21-6 21-17

Next,

[SF] PARUPALLI Kashyap (IND,15) vs. HU Yun (HKG,13)

[Omkara]

anyone knows what is PARUPALLI Kashyap's best ranking....
