Malaysia Open: Sindhu overcomes Chinese-Taipei opponent
KUALA LUMPUR [Maha Media]: Indian badminton star PV Sindhu, returning from a long injury lay-off, defeated Chinese-Taipei's Sung Shuo Yun in the women's singles opening round to secure a place in the pre-quarterfinals of the Malaysia Open Super 1000 tournament here on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old former world champion, who had opted to withdraw from all BWF World Tour events in October last year to focus on recovering from a foot injury, beat Sung 21-14, 22-20 in just over 51 minutes.
However, the mixed doubles pair of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto, ranked 17th in the world, bowed out in the round of 32 after losing to the lower-ranked American duo of Presley Smith and Jennie Gai 15-21, 21-18, 15-21 following a hard-fought 56-minute contest.
