World No. 9 HS Prannoy will set his sights on a quarterfinal spot at the All England Open 2023 when he squares off against World No. 3 Anthony Sinisuka Ginting on Thursday, March 16.
Prannoy made a good start to the season, reaching the quarterfinals of the Malaysia Open in his first tournament of the year. However, things went downhill for the Keralite after that as he crashed out of both the India Open and the Indonesia Masters in the first round.
The 30-year-old snapped his losing streak on Tuesday with a tight 21-19, 22-20 win over World No. 24 Wang Tzu Wei in the first round of the All England Open. Buoyed by that performance, he should be aiming for a deep run in the Super 1000 Birmingham event.
HS Prannoy vs Anthony Sinisuka Ginting: Head-to-head and prediction
HS Prannoy has a slender lead of 2-1 over Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in their head-to-head. The Indian edged Ginting 21-19, 19-21, 21-18 in their most recent encounter in the semifinals of the Swiss Open last year.
However, Prannoy cannot take Ginting lightly given the experienced customer he is. The Indonesian won the men's singles bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as well as the 2018 Asian Games.
The 26-year-old emerged victorious at the Singapore Open and the Hylo Open last year, in addition to finishing as the runner-up at the BWF World Tour Finals.
Ginting has made a decent start to the current season as well, although he is yet to reach a final in the three events he played prior to this week. After making the quarterfinals at the Malaysia Open, the Indonesian went one step further to reach the last four at the India Open.
At home at the Indonesia Masters, he, however, got knocked out in the Round of 16.
Ginting should be eager to bounce back at the ongoing All England Open and has started his campaign on the right note with a 21-17, 21-19 win over World No. 30 Kantaphon Wangcharoen.
