It was the first BWF title for Prannoy, which is going to give him a huge boost for the qualifying cycle for the Paris 2024 Olympics, in which he will look to grab the medal. However, Prannoy has recently been dropped from number 7 rank to number 9 because of bad performance in the Sudirman Cup, but after clinching the title of the Malaysia Master in the next cycle of ranking, he is going to gain a few positions for sure.

I think there are too many emotions. The last six years have been too much of a rollercoaster. I didn’t expect that it will happen after six years, to be honest. I mean if you would have asked me in 2017 I don’t think I would have told you that I will win in 2023. So lots of mixed emotions,”
