HS Prannoy
India's top ranked singles player HS Prannoy went down to higher-ranked Kodai Naraoka of Japan 19-21, 13-21 as none among the country's shuttlers failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals of the Australian Open Super 500 event here on Friday.
The World No. 10 Prannoy was the latest to be eliminated on a day when Sameer Verma, Sikki Reddy and B Sumeeth Reddy along with Aakarshi Kashyap also drew blank. Verma was no match for his World No. 17 opponent Chinese Taipei opponent Lin Chun-Yi who cruised to a 21-12, 21-13 win.
In the mixed doubles, eighth seeded husband-wife duo of Sumeeth and Sikki lost to seeded pair of Jian Zhen Bang and Wei Ya Xin 21-12, 21-14. Eighth seed Aakarshi went down to Chinese Taipei's Yu Po Pai 21-17, 21-12 in women's singles contest.
