Sindhu sails into quarters; Sen, Bansod out of Korea Open

Ace Indian shuttler P.V. Sindhu progressed to the quarterfinals with an easy straight-game win over Japan's Aya Ohori but Lakshya Sen and Malvika Bansod were ousted after losing their respective second-round matches at the Korea Open Super 500 badminton tournament here on Thursday.

World number seven Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medallist, got the better of world number 26 Ohori 21-15 21-10 in a lop-sided contest to take her head-to-head count against the Japanese to an overwhelming 12-0 in 13 meetings.

The third seeded Indian will next face familiar foe in Thailand's Busanan Ongbamrungphan, whom she had defeated in the final of Swiss Open last month.
