Top seed Jan O Jorgensen faced a tough challenge in the Men’s Singles second round at the Yonex-Sunrise India Open. In a thrilling match against home favorite HS Prannoy, Jorgensen lost his way after a strong start, eventually falling 18-21 21-14 21-14. Prannoy’s relentless attack and powerful jump smashes proved to be too much for the Danish player.
Despite Jorgensen’s defeat, it was a successful day for the Indian players in Men’s Singles. China Open champion Kidambi Srikanth avenged his All England loss to Japan’s Kento Momota, while RMV Gurusaidutt fought past compatriot Sameer Verma. However, the standout performer was undoubtedly Prannoy, who showcased his potential with an impressive victory over the world No.2.
