The 21-year-old, who was part of the India team that won the 2022 Thomas Cup, dished out an attacking game to outplay World No. 35 Nguyen 21-12, 21-9 in the semis to progress to his maiden final of a Super 300 world tour event. He will face either Denmark’s Magnus Johannesen or China’s Lei Lan Xi in the summit clash. Rajawat was sharp at the net and precise in his returns.
