Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu struggled past Malaysia’s Goh Wei Jin in women’s singles quarter-finals to stay on course for a maiden individual gold medal at the Commonwealth Games here on Saturday.

A former world champion, Sindhu registered a come-from-behind 19-21, 21-14, 21-18 win over Goh, ranked 60th, to enter her third successive semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games. However, young Aakarshi Kashyap’s CWG debut ended with a 10-21, 7-21 defeat to Scotland’s Kristy Gilmour, a silver and bronze medallist in the 2014 and 2018 editions respectively.
