2015 US Open Grand Prix Gold: Schedule for Indian players on Saturday

Can Sai Praneeth overcome Lee Choong Wei and progress to the final?

It promises to be an exciting day for India at the US Open Grand Prix Gold as 5 players look to seal a berth in the finals of the tournament. The Men’s Doubles pair of Manu Attri and Sumeeth Reddy will face the Japanese pair of Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda in the semis.

In the Women’s Doubles, the pairing oof Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa will look to seal finals berth when they take on Ayane Kurihara and Naru Shinoya of Japan in their semi-final.

But probably the most mouth-watering off all contests would be when an in-form Sai Praneeth faces the former World No.1 Lee Chong Wei in his semi-final. It promises to be a great day for Indian Badminton fans and one can only hope for all oof them to progress through to the finals.
