India’s Kidambi Srikanth made it to the men’s singles quarterfinal but an erratic P V Sindhu went down in straight games in women’s singles competition at Malaysia Open on Thursday.
Eighth seeded Srikanth, who had reached the finals of a BWF World Tour event after 17 months at the India Open last week, defeated Thailand’s Khosit Phetpradab 21-11 21-15 in little over half an hour to set up a meeting with Olympic champion and fourth seed Chen Long of China. The 26-year-old is now the lone Indian survivor in the BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament.
