Parupalli Kashyap, HS Prannoy to Clash in US Open Badminton Final

Seven months after he lost in the Korea Open semifinals, P Kashyap reached the quarterfinals of an global badminton event when he drubbed Niluka Karunaratne of Sri Lanka 21-19, 21-10 in the third round of the US Open Grand Prix Gold in Anaheim on Thursday.

Parupalli Kashyap and HS Prannoy progressed into the United States Open Grand Prix Gold semi-finals in Anaheim in two tough battles for the Indian shuttlers in the men’s singles event. His last semi finals appearance was in Korea Open in December 2016. Meanwhile second seeded Prannoy saw off Japan’s Kanta Tsuneyama 10-21, 21-15, 21-18 in a match that lasted exactly an hour. It is a great comeback for Prannoy after losing the first set and ceding early advantage to the opponent in the second set as well. It was a good come-back win for the former India Open Grand Prix Gold victor who was out of the circuit after sustaining injuries.

The 25 year old second seed will next play Vietnamese 15th seed Tien Minh Nguyen in the semifinals on Sunday.

The final will be the third official meeting between Kashyap and Prannoy with both enjoying one victory each previously.

On the other hand it was also a good day for men’s doubles duo of Manu Attri/Sumeeth Reddy as they defeated Hiroki Okamura/Masayuki Onodera 21-18, 22-20.

The pair will next face Chinese double of Lu Ching Yao and Yang Po Han in the semifinal clash.
