Jayaram moves into US Open semi-final
It was a tough day for the Indian shuttlers barring Ajay Jayaram, who sailed into the men’s singles semi-finals with a comfortable win over compatriot Anand Pawar in USD 120,000 US Open Grand Prix Gold badminton tournament here.
The World number 22 and fourth seed Jayaram comfortably defeated his colleague 21-11, 21-11 in the quarterfinal on Friday.
The 28-yearold will now face Japan’s Kanta Tsuneyama for a place in the final. However, there was no good news from the doubles camp as in the men’s doubles, the Rio-bound Manu Attri and B Sumeeth lost to the Japanese combine Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi 21-18, 7-21, 16-21. The women’s doubles pair of Poorvisha and Meghan also lost to second seeds from America, Paula Lynn Obanana and Eva Lee, 21-15, 21-12.
