Sindhu, Srikanth sail into Indonesia Masters semifinals

BALI, Nov 19:
Premier Indian shuttlers PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth continued their impressive run and registered dominant victories to enter the semifinals of their respective events at the Indonesia Masters Super 750 badminton tournament here on Friday.
While reigning world champion Sindhu, seeded third, scripted a convincing 21-13 21-10 win over Turkey’s Neslihan Yigit in 35 minutes in the women’s singles quarterfinals, Srikanth made short work of compatriot HS Prannoy 21-7 21-18 in the men’s last eight fixture.
With the win the two-time Olympic medallist Sindhu extended her dominating head-to-head record against the Turkish shuttler to 4-0.
The 26-year-old from Hyderabad, ranked seven, had beaten Yigit last month as well in the Denmark Open.
In the men’s event, former world No. 1 Srikanth was at his vintage best and gave away just 7 points in a lop-sided first game. (PTI)
