The two-time Olympic medalist displayed powerful smashes and excellent net play to oust the world no. 26. With yet another win she took her head-to-head count against the Japanese to a whopping 12-0

Sindhu is in impressive form having claimed two Super 300 titles this season at Syed Modi international and Swiss Open. She enjoys a 16-1 lead in 17 meetings against the world no. 11 Thai.
Srikanth cruised to a 21-18, 21-6 victory over Misha Zilberman of Israel within 33 minutes.
