Sindhu enters the semis of Korea Open

PV Sindhu advanced into the semi-finals of the Korea Open Superseries beating Japan's Minatsu Mitani in three games 21-19 16-21 21-10, in a match that lasted just over an hour. She would now face the winner of quarterfinal between Sung Ji Hyun and He Bingjiao. Earlier in the day, Sameer Verma lost his match against World No 1 Son Wan Ho 22-20, 10-21, 13-21.

Korea Open
Korea Super Series is now underway

A couple of weeks after the conclusion of the BWF World Championships, the Indian shuttlers are now fighting for the title at the Korea Super Series, formerly known as the Korea Open. The tournament, held annually in Seoul, South Korea started on Tuesday, 12th September 2017. First held in 1991, the tournament became one of the BWF Super Series tournaments in 2007.

Gold hunt
Indians at Korea Open Super Series

Historically speaking, Indians have never been successful at the Korea Open. Among the top performing nations are, of course, China, South Korea and Denmark. However, this year, given the form of the Indian shuttlers, things could be different. Although Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth have withdrawn due to injuries, PV Sindhu and Sai Praneeth are quite capable of winning a medal or two.

India's other hope, B Sai Praneeth, was ousted in the second round also. He suffered a 13-21 24-26 loss to China's Tzu Wei Wang.
