long battle to get the better of unseeded Japanese Aya Ohori 11-21, 21-10, 21-13 in a second round women’s singles match, Praneeth sailed past another local shuttler, Kanta Tsuneyama, 21-13, 21- 16 in a men’s singles encounter that lasted 45 min- utes. Prannoy, who knocked out compatriot Kidambi Srikanth in the opening round, though crashed out of the men’s singles event after going down to Rasmus Gemke of Denmark 9-21, 15-21 in the sec- ond round. Her latest result at the BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament extended Sindhu’s head-to-head record to 8-0 over Ohori. Sindhu will next face fourth seeded Japanese Akane Yamaguchi, to whom she lost in the final of the Indonesia Open last week. Sai Praneeth will face Indonesia’s Tommy Sugiarto in the men’s singles last-eight round. It was good news for India in the men’s dou- bles event as the pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty made it to the quarterfinals after emerging victorious in a tough three-game second round affair in 53 minutes. The Indian pair came from a game down to quell the challenge of China’s Kai Xiang Huang and Cheng Liu 15-21, 21-11, 21-19 and set up a quar- terfinal clash with second seeded local combina- tion of Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda. It was curtains for India in the mixed doubles event as the pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Ashwini Ponnappa lost 16-21, 17-21 to fourth seeds Dechapol Puavaranukkroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand in the second round. In the match between Sindhu and Ohori, the Rio Olympics Silver medallist Indian shuttler was slow to get off the blocks as the local girl came out on top in the early exchanges to race to a 5-1 and then 11-5 lead at the break. Sindhu took it easy in the first game and it worked in Ohori's favour as the Indian commit- ted a lot of unforced errors. 2. >8 '& $' # # #! ##
