201 Rio Olympic silver medallist P V Sindhu notched up a comfortable
straight-game win to make it to the knockout stage but Kidambi Srikanth
slumped to his second consecutive loss to crash out of the Dubai Super
Series Final.
World No. 3 Sindhu took just 36 minutes to outplay Sayaka Sato of Japan 21-13 21-12 and register her second straight win at the USD 1 million event.
The 22-year-old Indian yesterday defeated World No. 9 He Bingjiao of China in her campaign opener.
Thus, Sindhu now has two wins from as many matches, same as World No. 2 Japanese Akane Yamaguchi. And both of them have booked a berth each at the knockouts in women's singles.
Sindhu and Yamaguchi will clash with each other in their last and final Group A match on Friday.
