LIVE India Open | Round 2 - Updates

With the tournament moving on to the big fights after two days of relentless matches, India Open would see the likes of PV Sindhu, Kidambi Sirkanth, HS Prannoy and more facing sterner tests today. The biggest match, today would probably be the clash of B Sai Praneeth and Sameer Verma.

The first big match of the day would the all Indian round two clash between Sai Praneeth. Both the shuttlers had to dig deep to churn out a win yesterday. Sai Praneeth was given a real challenge by Kartikey Gulshan Kumar, who won the first game itself to clarify that he was no pushover, before he came back to win the next two games to progress. Though Sameer didn’t have to go to the decider, Rasmus Gemke did make life difficult for him.

In other matches, Srikanth, quite expectantly, had to go through the grueling challenge by Wong Wing Ki Vincent as the Hong Kong shuttler took the match to the third game and was only beaten narrowly. In another match, PV Sindhu had to overcome the challenge of young Mugdha Agrey and it was fairly easily. The limelight was, however, stolen by Subhankar Dey who defeated Tommy Sugiarto.
