Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu will square off against Thailand's Supanida Katethong in the women's singles semifinals at the ongoing 2022 Yonex Sunrise India Open on Saturday.
Top-seeded Sindhu got the better of compatriot Ashmita Chaliha 21-7, 21-18 in the women's singles quarter-final match that lasted nearly 36 minutes on Friday.
Sindhu started her campaign this week with a 21-5, 21-16 win over Sri Krishna Priya Kudaravalli before outpowering Ira Sharma 21-10, 21-10 to secure the quarterfinals spot.
Meanwhile, Supanida got a walkover from third-seeded Yeo Jia Min of Singapore in the quarterfinals. The Singaporean shuttler pulled out of the tournament due to 'high fever.'
Earlier, Supanida outhussled Polina Buhrova of Ukraine with a 21-7, 21-10 scoreline to enter the quarterfinals.
Sindhu has been in phenomenal touch throughout the tournament. If she continues to play this well, storming into the final of the India Open should not be in doubt.
In addition, the Indian shuttler leads the head-to-head encounter against the Thai shuttler. She humbled Supanida 21-15, 21-19 during the Indonesian Masters last year.
