World Tour Final LIVE: HS Prannoy crashes out - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
Prannoy with the LEAD!
Prannoy brings out some aggression and opens up a two-point lead. Up 16-14.
Prannoy draws level!
Both players matching each other point for point and HS Prannoy has equalised things at 14-14. Early call that much like the French Open Pre-quarters, this might too go down the wire in a three-setter.
Prannoy TRAILS!
Even though Lu Guang Zu has the edge going into the mid-game break, this has been very close so far. Very little to choose between the two. If Prannoy has been better at the net, Lu has had the edge in longer rallies. Prannoy trails 9-11.
Prannoy on the backfoot
Some aggression from Lu combined with a couple of errors from Prannoy keeps the Indian on backfoot. Trails 3-6.
Tight start!
A very tight start to the contest as both players commit errors to be level at 3-3.
A beautiful start!
A wonderful rally to start off the match, and Prannoy places a beautiful shot. It is called in, but Lu Guang Zu challenges and wins it. Prannoy trails 0-1.
HS Prannoy is on court!
HS Prannoy is out on court number 2 with Lu Guang Zu. The usual warmups for now.
Prannoy v/s Lu HEAD TO HEAD
HS Prannoy does not have a favourable record against Lu Guang Zu. The Indian had lost their only encounter 19-21, 22-20, 19-21 at the French Open Round of 16 earlier this year.
MUST WIN CONTEST!
This is a must win contest for both HS Prannoy and Lu Guang Zu. While the former lost to Kodai Naraoka in his first clash yesterday, the latter went down to World Champion Viktor Axlesen.
A loss here would mean, the end of the World Tour Finals dream for both Prannoy and Zu. A lot to play for today!
