Top seed Sindhu took just 33 minutes to get the better of American Lauren Lam 21-16, 21-13 in her second-round match, while fifth seed Prannoy staved off a stiff challenge from compatriot Priyanshu Rajawat before prevailing 21-11, 16-21, 21-18 at the BBD indoor stadium here.
Sindhu, a former world champion, will take on sixth-seeded Thai shuttler Supanida Katethong in the Last 8 stage in a repeat of the India Open Super 500 semi-finals. Sindhu, 26, will look to set the record straight against the left-handed Thai, who had beaten the Indian last week.
Prannoy, a former top 10 player, will clash with France’s Arnaud Merkle, who ended India’s Kartikey Gulshan Kumar’s campaign with a 21-8 21-12 win in another second-round match.
