China Open badminton: Sindhu advances, Saina, Prannoy out

Defending champion PV Sindhu sailed into the quarter-finals but newly-crowned National champions Saina Nehwal and HS Prannoy crashed out of the China Open Superseries, here yesterday. World No. 2 Sindhu emerged as the lone Indian survivor at the event after she made quick work of China's Han Yue 21-15, 21-13, an opponent ranked at 104 in BWF ranking, in a lop-sided 40-minute women's singles match.

Sindhu will clash with another Chinese qualifier Gao Fangjie today. It turned out to be a dismal day for Saina and Prannoy. While Saina lost 18-21, 11-21 against her Japanese nemesis and fifth seed Akane Yamaguchi in the women's singles second round, World No. 11 Prannoy was stunned by 53rd ranked Cheuk Yiu Lee of Hong Kong 21-19, 21-17. Before the start of the match, Saina trailed Yamaguchi one to three in head-to-head record with their three previous results going in the Japanese favour and the trend continued. Saina, thus, suffered her fourth defeat - three of them in last one month - against Yamaguchi this year.
