H. S. Prannoy went down fighting in the men’s singles quarterfinals against world championships bronze medallist Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei, bringing down the curtains on India’s campaign at the Japan Open in Osaka on Friday.
The 30-year-old Indian saved three match points, only to endure the agony of losing them in the end, as Chou emerged victorious 21-17 15-21 22-20 in a pulsating contest that lasted an hour and 20 minutes.
