Srikanth advances; Praneeth EXITS
While it is a joy for Kidambi Srikanth as he advances to the pre-quarterfinals with an easy 30 minutes victory, it is an early exit for Praneeth.
The former world number 1 had scores to settle against his countryman and he did it quite convincingly. Praneeth still has a 5-4 edge over Srikanth though!

Srikanth wins 21-14, 21-11
One-sided would be an understatement for this match. Kidambi Srikanth dominated the proceedings right from the start and never allowed even a sniff to Sai Praneeth winning the match 21-14, 21-11.

10 Game Points
Srikanth leads 20-10 and has 10 game points. How long can Praneeth deny him?

This looks over
This looks over for Sai Praneeth unless he has something miraculous up his sleeve. Srikanth leads 15-8.

11-5
Srikanth yet again in a dominating position. He leads 11-5 at second mid-game break. This might well be over soon for Sai Praneeth, who has been absolutely disappointing so far.

6 consecutive points!
6 consecutive points for Srikanth as he leads 7-2. This too is turning out to be lopsided.
