Malaysia Masters: HS Prannoy storms into semis; PV Sindhu loses again to Tai Tzu Ying

Kuala Lumpur: Indian shuttler HS Prannoy cruised into the semi-finals of the ongoing Malaysia Masters 2022 on Friday after two-time Olympic medallist shuttler P V Sindhu  lost to her nemesis Tai Tzu Ying in the quarterfinals to bow out of the Malaysia Masters Super 500 tournament here on Friday. Prannoy defeated Kanta Tsuneyama 25-23, 22-20, in a match that lasted for one hour. He becomes the only Indian to reach the semifinals in the tournament. Playing on Court 1, Prannoy’s defence was solid and the jump smashes & net-play were delightful. But the highlight was the composure he showed at the end. Seventh seed Sindhu once again fell short against the world no. 2, losing 13-21, 21-12, 12-21 in a 55-minute clash. It was Sindhu’s 17th career defeat to the Tokyo Olympics silver medallist, who has prevailed over the Indian in all their last seven meetings. The last time Sindhu had defeated Tzu Ying was en route to her 2019 World Championship gold in Basel. It was business as usual for Tzu Ying as she rode on her precision and deceptive game to get past a fighting Sindhu, who once again flattered to deceive. Tzu Ying made her intent clear from the start as after an initial close duel, she managed to pull away from 10-9 to jump to 15-9 and held her fort to take lead in the match. After the change of ends, Sindhu seemed to find her bearings as she galloped to an 11-4 lead and then kept a firm grip on the rallies to roar back into the contest.

This is quite the nail-biter, loving the scenes and the screams in this PV Sindhu vs Tai Tzu-ying clash in the quarters of the #MalaysiaMasters2022 🙈🔥#Badminton pic.twitter.com/kBYSFwnUWg

The Indian carried her momentum into the decider, leading 7-3 at one stage and for a moment it seemed, perhaps, she has cracked the Tzu Ying code but the second seed once again managed to turn the tables around, grabbing a two-point cushion at the final break. It was one-way traffic after the interval as Sindhu’s unforced errors coupled with her rival’s brilliance saw the match tilt completely in favour of Tzu Ying, who zoomed to 19-11. Another rally ended with the shuttle dropping right on the baseline as Tzu Ying held eight match points and converted it when Sindhu went to the net again.
