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.

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!
