NEW DELHI: Ace Indian shuttler HS Prannoy finally clinched his first-ever BWF World Tour title with a hard-fought three-game triumph over China's Weng Hong Yang in the men's singles finals of the Malaysia Masters Super 500 held in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
In an intense battle lasting 94 minutes, Prannoy exhibited exceptional composure and determination to secure a 21-19, 13-21, 21-18 victory against his Chinese opponent, who is ranked 34th in the world. This victory marks a significant milestone for Prannoy, as he had been longing for an individual title since his triumph at the 2017 US Open Grand Prix Gold.
