NEW DELHI: PV Sindhu took every other step closer to holding her title as she reached the women's singles semi-finals within the $350,000 India Open Super 500 badminton event here on Friday.
Sindhu dished out an attacking game to beat Spain's World No. 36 Beatriz Corrales 21-12, 19-21, 21-11 within the 35-minute quarterfinal match.
The Olympic silver medallist will face 2013 global champion Ratchanok Inthanon of Thailand within the semi-finals.
Sindhu walked away with the hole game without much ado but Corrales came back in the second one to guide 19-11. Sindhu, however, reeled off seven issues to attract parity at 18-20 but a fortunate net chord saved the Spaniard alive within the match.
Back to the winning aspect of the court, Sindhu as soon as again confirmed magnificence as she zoomed to a 11-5 benefit on the lemon wreck. Corrales tried to make a comeback but the Indian ensured there are not any hiccups as she used her disguised returns to bamboozle the Spaniard.
A jump ruin gave Sindhu 10 match issues. Corrales gained a long rally sooner than she hit long handy over the match to Sindhu.
However, it grew to become out to be a disappointing day for Parupalli Kashyap and B Sai Praneeth as they suffered instantly game defeats to their respective opponents to bow out of the event.
Commonwealth Games champion Kashyap gave the impression a little tired and may now not match China's Qiao Bin, shedding 16-21, 18-21 within the males's singles quarter-finals.
Kashyap blew a 7-2 lead early on within the opening game, while in the second one, he erased Four-11 and 8-16 deficit to claw his long ago at 18-18 sooner than Bin surged to near out the match.
"I was struggling to continue the long rallies. Maybe I was tired after the last match. I had a chance in the second game but somehow I was not able to read, come forward and kill the rallies. Some part of my defence I am not happy with. I perhaps should have prepared better," Kashyap mentioned.
Eighth seed Praneeth too failed to barter the fast paced game of third seed Taiwanese Chou Tien Chen and went down 15-21, 13-21.
Praneeth was 6-11 behind on the wreck and regardless that he levelled par at 14-14, Chen quickly modified gears to pocket the first game.
Nothing modified in the second one game because the Indian trailed Four-Nine sooner than making it 10-11 on the interval. But Chen stepped up and walked away with the match.
"He was hitting rally hard. It was long rallies and suddenly he was changing the pace and hitting hard. I was rushing but I should have been more patient on court," Praneeth mentioned.
Among others, top seeded Indonesian Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo shut out the preventing Indian males's doubles pair of Manu Attri and B Sumeeth Reddy 21-19, 21-19, while sixth seeded ladies's doubles pair of Ashwini Ponnappa and N Sikki Reddy lost 17-21, 21-23 to Chinese pair of Du Yue and Li Yinhui.
Seventh seeded Indian pair of Jakkampudi Meghana and Poorvisha S Ram lost 10-21, 15-21 to 2d seeded Thai pair of Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai.
