London Olympic quarterfinalist P Kashyap saved a match point before beating seventh seed Tien Minh Nguyen of Vietnam 12-21, 22-20, 21-14 to reach the quarterfinals of the China Open Super Series Premier in Shanghai on Thursday.
The Gopichand Badminton Academy trainee faced a match point in the second game at 19-20. But he not only saved the match point but went on to take the next two points to take the match in the decider, which he won relatively easily to set up a last eight clash against local hope Zhengming Wang.
However, it was curtains for India in all other events with mixed doubles combination of Pranav Chopra and Sikki Reddy and men's doubles pairing of Arun Vishnu and K Tarun falling in the second round.
