Sen, Sindhu storm into quarters of Indonesia Masters badminton tournament

Lakshya Sen and PV Sindhu

Top Indian shuttlers P V Sindhu and Lakshya Sen entered the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Masters badminton tournament after securing straight-game wins in their respective last 16 matches here on Thursday.

Sen prevailed over Hong Kong China's Jason Gunawan 21-10, 21-11 in a contest that lasted a little over half an hour, while Sindhu notched up a 21-19, 21-18 triumph over Line Hojmark Kjaerfeldt of Denmark.

Later in the day, former World No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth, a 2021 world championships silver medallist, was too erratic to pose any challenge, going down 11-21, 10-21 to Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien Chen in a lop-sided Round of 16 encounter.

In women's singles, Anmol Kharb showed a lot of heart to challenge former world champion Nozomi Okuhara before going down 21-16, 14-21, 11-21 in 56 minutes.
