Jakarta: India’s HS Prannoy continued his impressive run as he sailed into the semi-finals of the Indonesia Open Super 1000 badminton tournament with a straight-games win over world number 13 Rasmus Gemke of Denmark in Jakarta on Friday.
A little over a month after his heroic win over Gemke in the decisive fifth rubber against Denmark which ensured India’s entry into the Thomas Cup final, Prannoy produced yet another finely-crafted performance to outwit the Danish world number 13 21-14 21-12 in a 40-minute quarterfinal clash.
It is the second semifinal appearance for world number 23 Prannoy at the Indonesia event.
