India's only remaining challenge at the BWF Super 1000 event, Prannoy, ranked 23rd in the badminton rankings, defeated world No 12 Angus 21-11, 21-18 in the men`s singles Round of 16 match at the Istoria Stadium.
The 29-year old Prannoy settled early and kept his higher-ranked opponent on toes from the start, countering Long`s speed efficiently with precise returns.
The shuttler from Hong Kong began the second game with much more intent and used the space well before Prannoy took back the momentum after being tied at 7-7. The Indian then sealed the second game and match in 41 minutes.
Prannoy, who was instrumental in India's first-ever Thomas Cup win last month, will face the winner of the match between world No 41 Brice Leverdez of France and Denmark's world No 13 Rasmus Gemke in the quarterfinals of the BWF Super 1000 badminton tournament on Friday.
Earlier in the day, world No 30 Sameer Verma lost to fifth-ranked Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia 10-21, 13-21 in 43 minutes. On the other hand, India`s top women's doubles pair of Ashwini Ponnappa and N Sikki Reddy also crashed out after losing to Tokyo 2020 silver medallists Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan of China 16-21, 13-21.
