Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium: Hong Kong's Lee Cheuk Yiu continued his stunning run in the India Open 2024 badminton tournament by upsetting Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Anthony Ginting of Indonesia in the quarterfinals at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on Friday.

Lee, who had defeated India’s Kidambi Srikanth and defending champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the earlier rounds, toppled fourth seed Ginting 21-17, 18-21, 21-13 to set up a semi-final encounter against second seed Kodai Naraoka in this Super 750 tournament being organized by Badminton Association of India.

In the day’s other matches, second seed An-Se Young's title defence came to an unfortunate end as she had to retire due to injury, handing Singapore's Yeo Jia Min her first semi-finals berth at the India Open.
