Commonwealth champ Parupalli Kashyap thrashed Korea’s Lee Hyun Il in the men’s singles opening round of the US Open Grand Prix Gold badminton tournament in Anaheim.
This was a comeback trail for Kashyap after his shoulder injury and his dauntless performance on the field was commendable. Kashyap thrashed Lee with a score of 21-16 10-21 21-19 in a match that lasted an hour and three minutes.
Sameer Verma, who also is making a comeback after recovering from a shoulder problem, made a positive start by beating Hoang Nam Nguyen from Vietnam with a score of 21-5 21-10 in another men’s singles match. -PTI
