PV Sindhu Struggles Past Sim Yu Jin To Enter Quarters Of Malaysia Masters; Ashmita Chaliha Stuns Beiwen Zhang
Two-time Olympic-medallist PV Sindhu survived a scare before prevailing over Korea's Sim Yu Jin but the highlight of the day was Ashmita Chaliha's stunning win over third seed Beiwen Zhang of USA in the second round of the Malaysia Masters on Thursday. World No. 15 Sindhu, a former world champion, saw off Sim 21-13 12-21 21-14 in a 59-minute women's singles second-round match to register her third win over the Korean world number 34. The 28-year-old from Hyderabad hasn't been able to hit top form ever since returning to action following a knee injury sustained in October last year.
