SINGAPORE: Singapore’s Jason Teh is one win from his first major title after beating India’s Priyanshu Rajawat in the men’s singles semi-finals of the Syed Modi International on Saturday (Nov 30).
At the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium in Lucknow, the Singaporean, ranked 39, upset world number 34 Rajawat 21-13, 21-19 to advance to his second men’s singles final in two months.
This is Teh’s second career victory in two encounters with the Indian player.
“I felt that I executed a little bit better at the net as compared to my opponent … and was a little more patient,” said Teh.
“When he caught up in the second game, I got a little bit anxious. My coach reminded me to quickly adjust things and play at my own tempo.”
The 24-year-old will face India’s Lakshya Sen in the final of the BWF Super 300 event on Sunday. Sen is ranked 14th in the world.
