Yesterday, PV Sindhu, the defending champion, defeated Jenjira Stadelmann in an easy match. It took her just 32 minutes to record her first victory of the year by beating Stadelmann 21-9, 21-16 in just 32 minutes.<\/p>\n
She failed to advance past the opening round of the last three tournaments where Sindhu competed, so she entered the contest. On Wednesday, she was hoping to end her streak.<\/p>\n
In the interval, the ace shuttler took a 6-4 lead and walked into the match with a five-point advantage. Sindhu scored four straight points after the break to make it 15-6, putting her in control of the game. After that, the CWG Champion gave up only three points and won the first game 21-9.<\/p>\n
In the second game, wildcard Stadelmann made an excellent start. It was a delight for the fans to see the Swiss shuttler race to a 6-2 lead in the second game. It was Sindhu, however, who was determined not to let the game slip away and made a solid comeback to defeat Stadelmann 21-16 and advance to the next round. During the second round, Sindhu will face Indonesian Putri Kusuma Wardani, the fourth seed.<\/p>\n
