SEOUL: Indian shuttler Ajay Jayaram continued his rampaging run at the Korea Open notching up a sensational straight-game upset victory over world No. 7 Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei to storm into the finals of the $600,000 Super Series event on Saturday.
Long forgotten in the Indian badminton corridors, the 27-year-old Bangalore-based player sent ripples in world badminton after prevailing over seventh seed Chen 21-19, 21-15 in a 43-minute men's singles semifinal match.
Beaten twice this season to the same opponent at German Open and US Open, world No. 32 Jayaram carried those scars as an armour into the match as he dominated the proceedings to eventually set up a summit clash with World No. 1 Chen Long of China.
