HS Prannoy Vs Chou Tien-Chen Live Streaming, BWF China Open 2025: When, Where To Watch Round Of 16 Match

The Badminton World Federation’s (BWF) China Open 2025 men's singles pre-quarterfinal on July 24 promises a compelling match between India's HS Prannoy and Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien-chen.

Prannoy staged a dramatic first-round comeback, while Chou Tien-chen is extra motivated after reaching the Indonesia Open 2025 final. HS Prannoy vs Chou Tien-chen head-to-head record suggests a tight contest in Changzhou.

Prannoy's Resilient Start At China Open

HS Prannoy, 33, showcased remarkable resolve in his first-round match against Koki Watanabe of Japan. The Indian shuttler, who trailed 2-11 at the interval in the deciding game, overcame a significant deficit and then faced five match points at 15-20. He saved all these points and rallied to win 8-21, 21-16, 23-21.

In a subdued season, this victory demonstrates, once again, his resilience and experience as a seasoned campaigner. Prannoy had exited his nine previous tournaments in the first or second round, reflecting his ongoing battle against a younger and more competitive men’s singles field.

Chou Tien-chen's Commanding Form

Chou Tien-chen, seeded sixth at the China Open, approaches his match against Prannoy in commanding form. He recently reached the Indonesia Open 2025 final, and there, he defeated the newly crowned world number one, Kunlavut Vitidsarn, in straight games (21-16, 23-21).

This illustrates his ability to handle high-stakes matches and solidifies his position as a top contender, even at 35 years old. Chou displayed remarkable composure and tactical intelligence, particularly in extended rallies and pressure situations. These factors contribute to his continued competitiveness on the circuit.

Impact On Rankings And Confidence

Reaching the China Open second round carries significant meaning for Prannoy, both for its ranking implications and for his personal confidence after a season marked by early exits.

For Chou, a deep run in Changzhou would continue his recent resurgence on the international scene. It could bolster his world ranking and solidify his veteran status among the world’s elite.
