Kidambi Srikanth fights back to enter quarters

Kidambi saves three match points to beat Ihsan Maulana Mustofa 18-21, 21-19, 22-20 and enters the quarter-final of the men’s singles. Although, he struggled to take control during the start of each game which is a bit of a concern going forward in the Superseries event. Still he fought back to snatch the tie from the young Indonesian shuttler

What a game this is turning out to be as Kidambi fights back from 17-20 to 20-20! Who will win this to enter the quarterfinal?

Ihsan Maulana leads 13-12 in the final game as both the shuttlers look to target the tramlines. Kidambi must focus on his net plays now

Kidambi takes control of the second game: 21-19

Same situation but a better display by the Indian shuttler as he forces the tie into the deciding game against Ihsan Maulana

16-16! The Indonesian shuttler is giving his everything to stop Kidambi’s forehand drives. Will he cause an upset?

After a healthy lead, Kidambi finds himself in trouble as he allows Ihsan to take the advantage after the break of the first game

18-18! Kidambi is being stretched after leading by five points at the break by the 21-year-old Ihsan Maulana.

Hard luck!

Carolina Marin enters quarterfinals; will face off against PV Sindhu

Another emphatic straight-game victory by Marin as she defeats Chia Hsin 21-7, 21-11 to set up a quarter-final clash with PV Sindhu. This will be their third meeting in four months! Interestingly, Sindhu has defeated the Spaniard on both occasions. 

11-6! Marin is not letting her opponent move freely near the forecourt. Looks like she wants to end this tie quickly!

Carolina Marin dominates first game: 21-7

The Spaniard’s fitness level is unmatchable as she covers the court and showcases brilliant footwork from the baseline to thwart Chia Hsin in the first game!

Carolina Marin vs Chia Hsin

11-4! Marin has taken an early lead at the break of the first game! She looks in superb touch and will square off against PV Sindhu in the quarter-final given she win this tie.

THAT’S IT! PV Sindhu comes from a game down to defeat Indonesian Fitriani in three games and seals a place in the quarters of the Singapore Open. 

16-6! Excellent show by Sindhu in the deciding game as she takes the driver’s seat against Fitriani.

PV Sindhu is looking to finish the tie early as she leads 11-4 in the third game. Fitriani has to take her chances now to unsettle Sindhu.

PV Sindhu claims second game: 21-17

After failing to capitalise in the first game, Sindhu replies with a bang as she wins the second and takes the match into the third and final game.

19-14! Sindhu is now just two points away from winning the second game. She has been dominant near the baseline and that has caused a few problems for Fitriani

Fitriani is stretched in the second game as Sindhu leads 17-12 and looks set to claim the game.

PV Sindhu leads 11-9 at the break of the second game. The Indian has to win this one to force the match into the final game.
