Lakshya, who came into the tournament unseeded, made a remarkable entry into the next round after defeating the third seed, Jonatan Christie, with a score of 21-18, 21-12.

On the other side, fans are also excited to see HS Prannoy, who has been known for his resilience on the court. While Lakshya has recently been more consistent, Prannoy is known for his ability to upset even the toughest opponents when he’s at his best. Their previous encounters have shown a close competition, with Lakshya holding a 4-3 edge in their head-to-head record.

Their last face-off was at the India Open in January 2023, where it was Lakshya who came out on top, winning 21-14, 21-15. This creates an intriguing narrative for the upcoming match, as both players carry the hopes and expectations of their supporters.

As both athletes prepare to battle it out for a spot in the quarterfinals, fans can expect a thrilling match. Lakshya’s attacking style will be up against Prannoy’s strong defense and crafty counter-attacks, setting the stage for a nail-biting encounter that highlights the strength of Indian badminton on the world stage.
