That was one-sided!
If the first game was completely lopsided, Sai Praneeth did show some fightback in the second. However, Antonsen was just too good for the Indian and Denmark is now just 1 match win away from the semifinal.

3-in a row
A mini-fightback from Praneeth now. 3 points in a row for the Indian. Can he save 5 more match points? Or is it a bit too much to ask?

Antonsen runs into the service judge
Brilliant commitment from the Danish star, running ahead to kill off the rally. But, he has almost run into the service judge in the process. He is fine though and more importantly has won 10-straight points for and he 19-12.

I do not really see Praneeth making a comeback now. He looks completely demoralised with what has just transpired.
