HS Prannoy

Indian shuttlers, including comeback man HS Prannoy, will eye a good show at the China Masters - the season's last BWF Super 750 event - beginning here on Tuesday, in pursuit of valuable ranking points in the race to the Paris Olympics.

Prannoy, who lost in the second round at the Japan Open Super 500 after returning to action following a back injury, will once again be the top Indian name in men's singles in the competition. He will face Taiwan's Chou Tien Chen, who had defeated him in the last meeting in Japan.
