Indian shuttler Parupalli Kashyap progressed to the men's singles semi-finals of the Korea Open Badminton World Tour Super 500 Tournament with a straight-game win over former world no 2 Denmark's Jan O Jorgensen in the quarterfinal match played in Incheon today.

In a clinical display, the 33-year-old from Hyderabad, who is the lone Indian left in the fray, outsmarted Jorgensen 24-22, 21-8 in 37 minutes to make it to his second semifinal of the season.

The 2014 Commonwealth Games gold-medalist will now face world No 1 and two-time world champion Kento Momota of Japan tomorrow.

A former World No 6, Kashyap, who was promoted from the qualifying round, had last played Jorgensen five years ago at the Denmark Open.

The Indian entered the match with a 2-4 record against Jorgensen, a 2015 World Championship bronze medalist.
