At $1M BCA Indonesia Open 2017, Jakarta (Superseries Premier)

[QF] H.S. Prannoy (IND,25) bt (8) Long Chen (CHN,8) 21-18 16-21 21-19
[QF] Kidambi Srikanth (IND,14) bt Tzu Wei Wang (TPE,19) 21-15 21-14

[SF] H.S. Prannoy (IND,25) vs Kazumasa Sakai (JPN,47)
[SF] Kidambi Srikanth (IND,22) vs (2) Wan Ho Son (KOR,1)

Terrific result from Prannoy with another upset win over former WR #1 Long Chen in 75 mins ... After longtime I am seeing back to back quality wins by Indian shuttler ... Prannoy dominated the first game and was in control ... He was 20-13 up but Long Chen saved 5 game points before losing the game ... Long Chen kept that momentum and took control of the second game which he won comfortably ... In the final game, both players were neck to neck for the most part of the game ... Prannoy converted 2nd match point for memorable win.

Srikanth also joined him in the semis with comfortable straight games win over Taipei's Tzu Wei Wang ... Next he is facing Korean WR#1 Wan Ho Son.
