PV Sindhu had to fight hard to beat Thailand’s Nitchaon Jindapol

Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu progressed to the quarter-finals of the All England Championships with a hard-fought win over Thailand's Nitchaon Jindapol in women's singles here yesterday. The World No. 3 Indian recovered from a mid-match slump to overcome the Thai shuttler 21-13, 13-21, 21-18 in a match which lasted an hour and seven minutes. "I definitely need to improve. I am happy to pull off a tough match. I hope I would go back, recover and return stronger tomorrow. I am not thinking too much about the tournament. "Most probably, it would be (Nozomi) Okuhura or the Indonesian, so let's see who I play," Sindhu said after the match.
