World Championships: HS Prannoy, Satwik-Chirag Duo In Quarterfinals, Treesa-Gayatri Bow Out
HS Prannoy showed nerves of steel, advancing to his third successive quarterfinals at the World Championships with a fighting three-game win over former champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore in Copenhagen on Thursday. World number 9 Prannoy, who won the Malaysia Masters and finished runner-up at Australian Open this season, once again displayed his sterling fighting qualities during his 21-18 15-21 21-19 win over the seventh seeded Loh at the Royal Arena. The 31-year-old from Kerala will face the winner of the match between world number one Viktor Axelsen and Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien Chen in the last eight.
