HS Prannoy rallied to prevail over the talented Lakshya Sen 17-21, 21-16, 21-17 in a keenly-contested third-round encounter of the BWF World Championships in Tokyo.
The ‘Beast,’ as he is fondly called by his friends, withstood the onslaught of the fast-rising youngster and is one win away from his first World Championships medal. The men’s doubles teams of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty and MR Arjun-Dhruv Kapila also made it to the last eight. However, Saina Nehwal’s campaign ended with a 17-21, 21-16, 1321 loss to Busanan Ongbamrunghphan of Thailand.
Admitting that it was tough against Lakshya, Prannoy said, “It’s always tough to play him. He is one player who has improved tremendously in the last one year. It feels good to have back-to-back wins against tough opponents.”
