However on Friday, Sindhu didn’t had to break much sweat in the contest. The first game against Kathethong was a close-affair. The World No.12 Indian managed to win it 21-19. In the second game, she found the momentum and closed out the contest comfortably, winning it 21-12.
Having lost in the semifinal at the Arctic Open last week, Sindhu eyes a much improved show at Denmark. However she has a big challenge up next as she will next face Carolina Marin.
World No.6 Carolina Marin defeated Tai Tzu Ying 19-21, 21-15, 21-18 in the quarterfinal.
