H.S. Prannoy to lead India's challenge in Taipei Open badminton

The semifinal loss in Indonesia is a thing of the past now. H.S. Prannoy will look to carry his good form forward when he spearheads the Indian challenge at the Taipei Open badminton tournament, starting on June 20.

World No. 9 Prannoy is seeded third and will take on a qualifier in the Men's singles opening round of the BWF World Tour Super 300 event. Prannoy, who claimed the Malaysia Masters Super 300 title last month, put on an impressive display at the Indonesia Open, a Super 1000 tournament, making it to the semifinals, where he lost 15-21 15-21 to World No. 1 and eventual winner Viktor Axelsen of Denmark. Prannoy would be desperate to make up for that loss.
