Seoul, Sept 15 (UNI) Continuing her winning streak, PV Sindhu stormed into the semi-finals of the ongoing Korea Open Superseries badminton tournament at the Seong-nam Indoor Stadium here today.
The Olympic silver-medalist secured her semifinal berth after a 21-19, 16-21, 21-10 victory over Japan’s Minatsu Mitani in the quarters.
After a couple of closely fought games, Sindhu opened up with a seven-point lead at 9-2 and went on to stretch the lead 19-9 in the third game. The star Indian shuttler then easily took the remaining couple of points to enter the next round.
