India\u2019s ace badminton player HS Prannoy stunned world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen to enter the men\u2019s singles semi-finals at the BWF World Badminton Championships 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark on Friday.<\/p>\n
Reaching the final four ensures a medal for HS Prannoy at the global meet as both losing semi-finalists are awarded bronze medals at the badminton world championships. This will be India\u2019s 14th medal at the BWF World Championships.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, the world No. 2 men\u2019s doubles pair, however, suffered a 21-18, 21-19 defeat at the hands of Denmark\u2019s Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in their last-eight encounter.<\/p>\n
After Chirag-Satwik\u2019s exit, HS Prannoy is India\u2019s only challenge remaining at the BWF World Badminton Championships 2023. HS Prannoy will play Thailand\u2019s Kunlavut Vitidsarn next for a place in the final.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
