ODENSE (DENMARK), Oct 20:
Star Indian shuttler PV Sindhu showed glimpses of her old self, dishing out a compact game to storm into the semifinals of Denmark Open Super 750 tournament with a comfortable win over world No. 19 Supanida Katethong here on Friday.
The two-time Olympic medallist, who has endured a winless phase this season, displayed her immaculate retrieving skills and exemplary net play to outshine Katethong 21-19, 21-12 in 47 minutes and make it to a second semifinal in two weeks.(PTI)
She had reached the semifinals at the Arctic Open Super 500 last week in Finland.
Sindhu will now face Spain’s three-time world champion Carolina Marin, who has an overwhelming 10-5 record against the Indian. It is going to be a tricky contest as Sindhu has lost to the world No. 6 in the last four meetings.
It hasn’t been exactly smooth sailing for Sindhu in this tournament as she took three games to get rid of her opponents — world No. 28 Kristy Gilmour and world No. 7 Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in the first two rounds.
