P V Sindhu recovered from a mid-game slump to outwit Spain's world no 36 Beatriz Corrales 21-12, 19-21, 21-11
Sindhu dished out an attacking game to walk away with the opening game without much ado but Corrales came back in the second to lead 19-11 at one stage.
Sindhu, however, grabbed eight of the next nine points to make it 19-20 but a lucky net chord kept the Spaniard alive in the match in the end.
In the decider, Sindhu once again showed her class as she zoomed to an 11-5 advantage at the lemon break.
Corrales, who trains in Italy, tried to make a comeback but the Indian ensured there are no more hiccups as she used her disguised returns to bamboozle the Spaniard.
A towering jump smash gave Sindhu 10 match points. Corrales won a long rally but the Spaniard hit long to hand over the match to Sindhu
Sindhu will next face 2013 World champion and world no. 3 Thai Ratchanok Inthanon.
