And the BIG THREE of Indian badminton who are playing at the China Open this week -- Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, HS Prannoy -- are all through to the second round while all the others have fallen by the wayside.
We shouldn't be surprised if this game turns out to be a tight one or if Sato manages to even sneak this out. Both their previous two meetings have gone the distance. They are used to pushing each other to the limit!
