On a comeback trail, the fifth seeded Prannoy took just 36 minutes to get the better of Bosniuk 21-14, 21-18 in his opening match. However, the tournament was over for fourth seed Sameer Verma after he retired hurt against Ireland’s Nhat Nguyen.
Sameer was trailing 2-7 in the first game before he decided to concede the match due to a calf muscle injury, which he had sustained in October last year.
Subhankar Dey also conceded his match against compatriot Kartikey Gulshan Kumar due to an injury when he was trailing 2-9 in the opening game. Later in the day, Sourabh suffered a 21-15, 19-21, 18-21 first-round defeat to Dwicahyo in a match that lasted one hour and seven minutes.
