It has been a good campaign for India's singles shuttlers so far with Srikanth Kidambi, Sai Praneeth, Sameer Verma, Tanvi Lad and Rituparna Das all winning their respective first round matches.

Sindhu's third round opponent would be the winner of the second round contest between the 13th seed Cheung Ngan Yi and Evgeniya Kosetskaya.

19:20 (IST)22 AUG 2017

Kim was supposed to be a dangerous first round opponent because of her win against the Indian in their last showdown.

But Sindhu smartly averted any danger. It has been a convincing display against an opponent of calibre. This should stand her in good stead.
