Star Indian shuttler H S Prannoy produced a gallant fight before going down narrowly to China's Huang Yuxiang in the men singles quarterfinals of the USD 1000,000 All England Championship here. In a nail-biting last eight match which swung too frequently, it was a miscued smash from the Indian that ended the gruelling contest 22-20 16-21 21-23 in favour of Huang after an hour and 17 minutes fight at the Arean Birmingham last night. Locked 20-20 in the third set, Prannoy went for a smash with his opponent down on the floor but all he could do is send the shuttle to the net, a moment which will perhaps haunt him for sometime.
