Fuzhou (China): Olympic silver-medallist PV Sindhu and male singles shuttler Ajay Jayaram advanced to the quarter-finals after registering thrilling three-game wins over their respective opponents in the second round of the USD 700,000 China Super Series Premier, here yesterday. Seventh seeded Sindhu survived a scare from USA’s Beiwen Zhang before notching up a 18-21, 22-20, 21-17 victory in a women’s singles match that lasted an hour here. The Indian will next take on China’s He Bingjiao, against whom she had lost in the second round of the French Open last month.
