Calgary, July 6

Continuing his dream run, Indian shuttler Priyanshu Rajawat stunned top seed and world No. 4 Anders Antonsen of Denmark to cruise into the semifinals of the Canada Open here.

World No. 39 Rajawat defeated Antonsen 21-11 17-21 21-19 in a gruelling one hour and 19 minutes on Friday night.

The win is 22-year-old Rajawat’s first-ever victory over a top-10 player.

However, the women’s doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand made a quarterfinals exit.

The third-seeded Indians were handed an 18-21 21-19 16-21 defeat by Chinese Taipei’s Pei Shan Hsieh and En-Tzu Hung.
