Malaysia Open: PV Sindhu as well as HS Prannoy won their respective second round matches to go into the quarterfinals.
Two-time Olympic medallist P V Sindhu entered the quarterfinals with a come-from-behind success over Thailand’s Phittayaporn Chaiwan in the Malaysia Open in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. The globe No. 7 dispatched her Thai challenger 19-21 21-9 21-14 in a 57-minute 2nd round clash at the Axiata Arena. The seventh seeded Indian will next encounter her nemesis Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei in the last 8 face-off. HS Prannoy, the world No. 21, also progressed to the quarterfinals of the guys’s songs with a simple 21-15 21-7 triumph over fourth seed Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei.
One of the heroes of India’s impressive Thomas Cup victory, the unseeded Prannoy will secure horns with seventh seed Indonesian Jontan Christie.
Later in the day, the seventh seeded men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty and previous Commonwealth Gamings champion Parupalli Kashyap will certainly also function.
