Shi Yu Qi challenges!
That's just in, and the Chinese loses his challenge. Praneeth wins two consecutive points and trails 6-11.
Just a matter of time
How long can Sai Praneeth deny Shi Yu Qi? How long can the Indian hold? Just a matter of time, in my opinion.

1-1
Praneeth takes the first point and looked set to move to a 2-0 lead. But, he touches a shuttle that was clearly going wide of the sidelines and pays the price. Terrible judgement under pressure.
Shi Yu Qi wins the opening game
Shi Yu Qi takes the first game 21-10 in just sixteen minutes. Sai Praneeth made a lot of mistakes, and gift wrapped some points to the Chinese. Can the Indian bounce back?
