Digital Desk: India's ace shuttler PV Sindhu advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women's Badminton Singles with a dominant win over Uganda's Husina Kobugabe.
In their round of 16 encounters, Sindhu defeated Kobugade with a score of 21-10, 21-9.
The Indian star was part of the mixed team that lost out on the gold a few days ago. While Sindhu was successful in defeating her opponents, her teammates failed to support her as Malaysia won 3-1.
The 27-year-old shuttler has shifted her focus to winning an individual gold medal for the country in Birmingham, and her determination was evident during the match against Kobugade.
The Indian ace didn't get off to the ideal start in the first game, trailing 2-3 at one point. But Sindhu immediately settled into a rhythm, and after that, it was all one-way traffic.
At the halfway point, she rapidly jumped out to an 11-4 lead, and Kobugade was helpless against Sindhu's attack.
After the break, the Indian ace did make a few unusual mistakes, but she had no trouble winning the game, 21-10.
In the second game, Sindhu jumped out to an early 11-6 lead. After the break, the 27-year-old was unstoppable as she won the match and a safe passage into the quarterfinals.
She finished the game with a 21-9 victory. With the victory, Sindhu continued her pace, which might carry her into the final and assure India a medal.
Earlier in the day, Kidambi Srikanth won his round of 16 matches to advance to the men's singles quarterfinals on Friday.
At the Commonwealth Games 2022, Srikanth defeated Dumindu Abeywickrama 21-9, 21-12 to get to the final eight stages.
