India’s H.S. Prannoy stunned World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia in straight games to storm into the quarterfinals of the USD 1,000,000 Indonesia Super Series Premier here yesterday.

The World No. 25, who went into the match with a 0-2 head-to-head record, saw off three-time Olympic silver medalist Lee 21-10 21-18 in a 40-minute men’s singles contest at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC).

Another Indian K. Srikanth also dug deep into his reservoir to notch up a stunning 21-15, 20-22, 21-16 victory over fourth seed Denmark’s Jan O Jorgensen to make the quarters too. Prannoy will next face Olympic champion Chen Long of China, while Srikanth will meet the winner of the match between Chinese Taipei’s Tzu Wei Wang and Hong Kong’s Ng Ka Long Angus.
