PV Sindhu came out with a stupendous performance to oust Japanese fifth
seed Akane Yamaguchi and enter the women’s singles semi-finals of the
$400,000 Hong Kong Open Superseries badminton tournament on Friday Nov 24,2017
This was World No.3 Sindhu’s fourth victory over the Japanese in six outings and first one of 2017 after losing to her at the French Open Superseries last month.
The 2016 Rio Olympics silver medallist will next face former World Champion Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand in the last-four clash on Saturday.
Sixth seed Ratchanok beat Canadian Michelle Li 21-14, 21-16 in 39 minutes in the other quarterfinal.
It will be a tough contest for the 22-year-old Sindhu, who has a poor 1-4 record against the former World No.1 Thai. Also, this will be their first meeting this year.
