Sindhu missed an opportunity to break a seven-month title drought when she lost in straight games to Akane Yamaguchi in Jakarta on Sunday and the Indian will look to go the full distance when she opens against China\u2019s Han Yue here. If she crosses the opening hurdle, Sindhu will face either Scotland\u2019s Kirsty Gilmour or Japan\u2019s Aya Ohori in the second round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth seed will also aim to avenge her final loss to Yamaguchi as she is likely to face the world no 4 Japanese in the quarterfinals. Saina, seeded eighth and the only Indian to win a title this season, will open against  Busanan Ongbamrungphan, an opponent against whom she enjoys a 3-1 head-to-head lead. In the men\u2019s singles, it will be an all-Indian opening round battle between HS Prannoy and eighth seed Kidambi Srikanth.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PV Sindhu will have to quickly pick up the pieces after her loss in the Indonesia Open final and prepare for the next battle at the Japan Open.The $750,000 tournament will also see the return of Saina Nehwal, who had missed the Indonesia Open Super 1000 event due to fitness issues.
