HONG KONG: Second seed PV Sindhu sailed into the women's singles quarterfinals with a comfortable win while compatriot Saina Nehwal crashed out of the Hong Kong Open Super Series on Thursday.
Sindhu, who slipped a place to be number three in the world rankings released on Thursday, defeated Japan's Aya Ohori 21- 14, 21-17 in a second round match lasting 39 minutes.
It was Sindhu's third win over the Japanese in as many meetings. The Indian faces another Japanese, fifth seed Akane Yamaguchi, in the quarterfinals on Friday.
