The medal hopes for India in the men's singles category fluttered out after Prannoy HS was knocked out in the quarterfinals of the BWF (Badminton World Federation) World Championship today. In a match that lasted over an hour, the Indian was up against Chinese shuttler Zhao Jun Peng. 

The nail-biting contest went into three sets, with the first one being won by Prannoy, but the Chinese player made a stunning comeback to clinch the match 19-21, 21-6 and 21-18.
