Star India shutter PV Sindhu began her China Masters campaign by defeating Julie Dawall Jakobsen of Denmark in straight games to advance to the women’s singles Round-of-16 of the Super 750 badminton tournament, here on Wednesday.

Sindhu, the two-time Olympic medallist, decimated Jakobsen 21-4, 21-10. The win for the Indian comes less than 10 days after her opening-round loss in the Hong Kong Open where she had lost to another, Dane Line Christophersen.
