INDIA’S Malvika Bansod continued her dream run at the US Open Super 300 Badminton Tournament with another shocking win over a better ranked opponent to make it to the semi-finals. In the quarter-final, Nagpur’s shocked Scotland’s Kristy Gilmour in a thrilling three-game match to advance to the women’s singles last four battle. The semis berth also assured Malvika of at least a bronze medal. The 22-year-old southpaw, ranked 49th, once again rallied back brilliantly to register a 10-21, 21-15, 21-10 win over Kristy, a 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medallist. This was Malvika’s back to back come-from-behind victory after she defeated Czech Republic’s Tereza Svabikova 2-1 in the last 16 battle. According to reports, Malvika had defeated Kristy at the Hylo Open in 2022 when the Scot shuttler had retired in the second game due to an injury. The Indian had lost twice to Kristy in the past. Malvika, who had won the Azerbaijan International challenge this year, will face sixth seeded Japanese Natsuki Nidaira in the last four battle.
