Khosit Phetpradab’s inspiring run into his first major final, and Kento Momota’s serene march to his
47th match victory this year, headlined the semi-finals action at the DAIHATSU YONEX Japan Open 2018 today.
Thailand’s Phetpradab, World No.26, has never gone this far in a tournament of this level, and that he accomplished with yet another powerful attacking performance against another surprise semi-finalist, Korea’s Lee Dong Keun, 21-12 21-16. Agile in defence and unrelenting in attack, Phetpradab sank to the floor after the fifth of his diving retrievals on match point fell unchallenged in Lee’s court.
