Saina Newal, H S Prannoy and B Sai Praneeth made it through the opening day unscathed to enter the second round of the USD 325,000 French Open Super Series today. Fifth seeded Yamaguchi had ended Saina's good run at the Denmark Open last week and the Indian will be eager to avenge the defeat against the Danish Open finalist. In the second game, Prannoy lead 8-5 and even though Lee held a slender 11-10 lead at the break, the Indian jumped ahead to 13-11. In the second game, Praneeth blew a 15-6 lead as 35th ranked Khosil managed to force the match into the decider. Praneeth held a 11-8 lead in the third game, only to see it vapourise as Khosil turned the tables, reaching 19-16.
