The second seed Indian upstaged Cheah 21-17, 21-13, in just 36 minutes to progress into the next round, where she will face World No.29 Gregoria Mariska Tunjung of Indonesia against whom she has 2-0 record having beaten her in both the meetings.

Sindhu, the last Indian in the foray did not have a great start and was trailing 8-12 at the break of the first set. However, she came back strong to clinch the first game.

The start of the second game was much better for the World No. 3 but the game moved at a snail’s pac with both the shutters keeping up with each other. Standing at 11-10, Sindhu led by just one point at the break but notched up a comfortable victory with nine straight points.

Cheah saved three after the break but in the end the lead was too big for her to stage a comeback.

The Olympic medallist had defeated Hong Kong’s Yip Pui Yin 21-16, 21-14 in her pre-quarterfinal clash.
