BWF World Championship Quarter-finals | Follow the live action

Srikanth had emerged as India's best bet at the tournament after he clinched back-to-back titles at Indonesia and Australia and a final finish at the Singapore Open. But after his failure in the quarter final, the focus has now shifted to two remaining shuttlers at the Championship - PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal. 

Rio Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu had to break a sweat to see of Cheung Ngan Yi of Hong Kong 19-21, 23-21, 21-17 in the pre-quarterfinals. However, Sindhu was visibly sluggish in the opening game and struggled to get into a decent rhythm before winning the third game to win the match. She will face fifth seed Sun Yu of China in the Quarter-finals today. 

On the other hand, Saina Nehwal had a far more straightforward match as she outfoxed South Korea’s Sung Ji Hyun 21-19 21-15 with ease. The World No. 3 was expected to pose a stiffer challenge for the Indian, but the London Olympics bronze medalist dominated the game from the word go. Nehwal today faces Kirsty Gilmour of Scotland in a bid to secure a place in last eight.
