Korea Open: PV Sindhu sails into quarter-final; Lakshya Sen, Malvika Bansod bow out

Suncheon: Ace Indian shuttler PV Sindhu progressed to the quarterfinals with an easy straight-game win over Japan’s Aya Ohori but Lakshya Sen and Malvika Bansod were ousted after losing their respective second-round matches at the Korea Open Super 500 badminton tournament here on Thursday. World number seven Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medallist, got the better of world number 26 Ohori 21-15 21-10 in a lop-sided contest to take her head-to-head count against the Japanese to an overwhelming 12-0 in 13 meetings. The third-seeded Indian will next face a familiar foe in Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan, whom she had defeated in the final of the Swiss Open last month. The former world champion, who has claimed two Super 300 titles this season at Syed Modi International and Swiss Open, enjoys a 16-1 lead in 17 meetings against the world number 11 Thai. World championship bronze medallist Sen, ranked ninth in the world, went down 20-22 9-21 to world number 24 Shear Hiren Rhustavito in 33 minutes. The country’s other fast-rising shuttler Bansod also failed to advance to the quarterfinals as she was brushed aside by Thailand’s Pornpawee Chochuwong 8-21 14-21 in a second-round women’s singles clash that lasted 39 minutes. It was curtains for the mixed doubles pair of Sumeeth Reddy and Ashwini Ponnappa as well. The duo fought hard but eventually went down 20-22 21-18 14-21 to the fifth seed Chinese combine of Ou Xuan Yi and Huang Ya Qiong in a grueling battle that lasted close to an hour. During the 37-minute second-round match, Sindhu didn’t look in too much trouble as she kept things under control to reign supreme. The Indian made a good start and only once did Ohori take a slender one-point lead at 8-7 but it was erased in no time as she comfortably closed out the opening game. The Japanese did try to make a comeback in the second with a 8-4 lead but it was dealt with authority with Sindhu grabbing 17 of the next 19 points to bang the door on her opponent. Earlier, sixth seed Sen, who has been in sensational form in the last six months with back-to-back final finishes at German Open and All England Championships, was pipped by Rhustavito in the closely-fought first game. The 20-year-old Indian then lost steam and struggled in the second to concede the tie meekly.
