PARIS: Indian shuttler HS Prannoy dumped Denmark's Hans-Kristian Vittinghus in straight games to development to the boys's singles quarter-finals of the French Open Super Series.
Prannoy, who regained his career-best score of World No 12 that he had accomplished in June two years ago, took simply 31 mins to look off Vittinghus 21-11, 21-12 to set up a clash with 2016 Australian Open finalist Jeon Hyeok-jin of Korea.
"Good win against Vittinghus last night to advance to the quarter-finals!! Tricky one awaiting later in the evening," Prannoy tweeted after the fit.
The Indian had lost to the World No 31 Jeon within the Canada Open in a detailed fit this 12 months.
In every other males's singles fit, it was curtains for Singapore Open champion B Sai Praneeth after he lost 13-21, 17 -21 to Japan's Kenta Nishimoto late on Thursday.
Young Indian doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, meanwhile, notched up a stunning win over World No 6 Danish combo of Mads Conrad-Petersen and Mads Pieler Kolding to reach their 2nd quarter-final of the season.
The World No 32 Indian pair, who had reached the quarters at Korea Open, dished out a excellent performance to surprise the 2016 European champions Conrad-Petersen and Kolding 22-20 12- 21 21-19 in a fit that lasted an hour.
"We are very happy to win the match today. We were leading 16-8 in the third game but made some simple errors and it was 19-all. Somehow we managed to win," Chirag mentioned.
The Indian pair will square off towards every other Danish pair of Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen, who are the 2012 London Games silver medallists.
In the quarter-finals, newly-crowned Denmark Open champion Kidambi Srikanth will face fourth seeded Chinese Shi Yuqi, who had reached the finals at All England Championship in March this 12 months.
Srikanth, who jumped to World No four, has a 2-Zero report towards the Chinese with both the victories coming this season at Singapore and Australia.
Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu will meet World No. 10 Chinese Chen Yufei, who had overwhelmed the Indian within the opening spherical at Odense final week.
However, the Indian will take a look at her World Championship win over the Chinese for inspiration as she appears to break the 2-2 deadlock.
