Brice Leverdez, against whom the
Hyderabadi has a 1-1 record.
However, the last time they met was
four years back in Malaysia.
Later, World No. 14 Prannoy caused
one of the biggest upsets of the
tournament when he downed Danish
second seed Jan O Jorgensen 21-16,
21-8 in only 33 minutes.
Though the World No. 2 was

career advantage which he has now
extended to 3-0, gave the Kerala
shuttler the psychological edge
going into the match.
