But the Danish star wasn’t ready to let go. He came back strongly in the decider. But Prannoy held on to his nerves and clinched the decider 22-20.

“Prannoy has been very impressive so far. Not many would have bet on Prannoy given the tough draw he got. But his opening-round win has given him almost like a second wind and that was on full display against Liew. He absolutely bossed the contest and he will take a lot of confidence from his two displays,” former national coach Vimal Kumar told InsideSport.
Furthermore, HS Prannoy will be confident having won both his clashes against Loh Kean Yew. The last time the two clashed, Prannoy won 21-14, 21-15.
