Extremely delighted at winning the men’s second singles and being declared Vodafone Player of the Tie, H S Prannoy said, “My last time’s loss had made me more determined to win this match.

I also made a lot of mistakes in my bodyline but the suggestions from the coach helped me win the game.”

Post her win over Carolina Marin in women’ singles, J Nichaon said, “I played an attackers game and pushed the shuttle very hard. This helped me gain advantage over Carolina. This is the first time I am playing in India and the cheering crowd here boost my confidence.”
