Sindhu and Saina in quarters; Sameer, Prannoy bow out

Ace Indian women shuttlers P.V. Sindhu and Saina Nehwal on Thursday came out with a spectacular performance, winning their respective second-round matches of the ongoing Malaysia Masters to enter the quarterfinals. However, it was curtains for men shuttlers as both Sameer Verma and H.S. Prannoy crashed out of the tournament.

Saina, the London Olympics bronze medallist, defeated eighth-seed South Korea’s An Se Young 25-23, 21-12 in a match that lasted for 39 minutes.

In the first game, Saina was made to work hard by the 17-year-old as both the shuttlers kept going at each other. But, it was the Indian who had the last laugh and ultimately won the game 25-23.
