While
Srikanth
progressed
after
a
hard-fought
victory
against

Dong
Ken
Lee,
youngster
Lakshya
beat
Tzu
Wei
Wang
in
another
pre
quarter-final
match.

minutes
before
eking
out
a
21-9
19-21
21-10
win
over
the
Korean
in
the
pre-quarterfinal.
The
match
was
very
closely
fought
than
what
the
scoreline
suggests.

shuttler
Srikanth

opponent
in
straight
games
21-17,
21-15
in
a
match
that
lasted
37
minuted.
The
20-year-old
will
next
face
another
20-year-old
in
Thailand’s
Kunlavut
Vitidsarn.
While
Lakshya
and
Srikanth
progressed,
there
was
disappointment
in
store
for
Indian
fans
as
three
other
shuttlers
crashed
out
of
the
tournament
on
Thursday

4).

33
minutes.
In
the

Sikki
Reddy
lost
to

Violina
Marwah
and

in
straight
games
in
the
