Spearheading the Indian challenge at the China Open Super Series, star shuttler P.V. Sindhu advanced into the quarterfinals of the women's singles event after emerging victorious against Chinese teenager Han Yue here on Thursday.
World number 2 Sindhu displayed a dominant show on the court and dismissed the 17-year-old Chinese 21-15, 21-13 in a match which lasted over 40 minutes.
The Olympic silver medallist will now meet Chinese qualifier Gao Fangjie on Friday to secure her spot in the semi-finals.
Earlier in the day, Indian fans were disappointed by the shocking exit of star shuttler Saina Nehwal in women's singles and H.S. Prannoy in the men's event.
India's campaign in the doubles event already ended yesterday.
