HS Prannoy and STATH KARUNAKARAN recorded superb victories to enter the second round of simple male, but these are curtains for the PV of Olympic Médalliste Double Sindhu while she collapsed with an opening defeat at the Malaysia Masters Badminton Masters tournament here on Wednesday. Taking the court first, Prannoy amazed at the fifth seeded Kenta Nishimoto in Japan 19-21 21-17 21-16 in a hard opening match that lasted an hour and 22 minutes. Karunakaran also recorded an upheaval by an astonishing third head of Chou Tien Chen de Taipei Chinese 21-13 21-14 in just 39 minutes.
It was a good day for the male shuttles of India, because Ayush Shetty also progressed in the next round after having exceeded Brian Yang from Canada 20-22 21-10 21-8.
But the bad form of Sindhu continued because it failed to pass the opening obstacle of the Super 500 tournament, losing 11-21 21-14 15-21 against Nguyen Thuy Linh of Vietnam.
