Taipei Open: HS Prannoy, Parupalli Kashyap advance to pre-quarterfinals | Badminton News – Times of India
The victories propelled them into the pre-quarterfinals of the BWF World Tour Super 300 tournament.
World number nine Prannoy showcased his class as he comfortably defeated local shuttler Lin Yu-hsien in just 26 minutes. Prannoy’s swift 21-11, 21-10 triumph in the opening round sets him up for a clash against the winner of the match between Chen Chi Ting and Tommy Sugiarto.
Having recently clinched the Malaysia Masters Super 300 title, the third-seeded Prannoy is determined to maintain his winning momentum on the international stage.
Meanwhile, former Commonwealth Games gold medallist Kashyap cruised to a straight-game victory over Germany’s Samuel Hsiao, triumphing 21-15, 21-16. Kashyap’s composed performance sets up a pre-quarterfinal encounter with local favourite Su Li Yang.
However, S Sankar Muthusamy Subramanian’s campaign came to an end as he succumbed to a defeat against sixth-seeded Japanese shuttler Kanta Tsunyama. Although Subramanian showcased some resistance in the opening game, he was outclassed in the second, ultimately losing 13-21, 5-21 in his men’s singles opening round.
The BWF World Tour features different levels, including the World Tour Finals, Super 1000, Super 750, Super 500, and Super 300. Each level offers varying ranking points and prize money, contributing to the overall standings of the players.
