Even though PV Sindhu lost her quarter-final match against South Korea's An Se-Young 21-12, 21-11 at the Denmark Open, former India international Aparna Popat feels that the Indian will come back stronger in tournaments to come. Popat also said that Sindhu is difficult to beat when on song.

Indian shuttlers endured a tough day at the Denmark Open on Thursday, with Kidambi Srikanth and the pair of Druv Kapila/Sikki Reddy crashing out of the competition in their second-round matches. Tokyo bronze medalist PV Sindhu managed to progress to quarters with a win over Busanan Ongbamrungphan.

Indian star shuttler Saina Nehwal pu forward yet another remarkable effort as she defeated Nozomi Okuhara and became the only Indian woman in the semi-final at Denmark Open. Srikanth sailed into the men’s single semis after he stopped compatriot Sameer Verma’s charge in the quarterfinals.
