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.
