Suhas Yathiraj to face Mazur in the gold medal match
Suhas Yathiraj has looked solid throughout this tournament. He started the tournament with two dominant wins and comfortably made it to the semis. However, in his third group stage game, the Indian locked horns with the sensational French shuttler, Lucas Mazur.
Despite giving his best, Suhas was outclassed by the 23-year-old as he cruised to victory in two straight games. He bounced back well from that defeat to beat Setiawan Fredy. Suhas will now look to come back stronger and seek revenge from Mazur in the final.
Lucas Mazur faced a resilient Tarun Dhillon in the semis. He edged out a 21-16,16-21,21-18 win against his Indian counterpart. Prior to this battle, he had never dropped a game in the singles competition at the event.
