Basel: Olympic silver medallist P V Sindhu dished out a superlative performance to outclass Mia Blichfeldt of Denmark in straight games and enter the women s singles final of the Swiss Open Super 300 tournament in Basel on Saturday. Sindhu, the reigning world champion, beat fourth-seeded Blichfeldt 22-20 21-10 in 43 minutes to avenge her first-round loss to the Danish world no. 12 at the Yonex Thailand Open in January. This is Sindhu s first final appearance since the World championships in Basel in 2019.
On Friday night, former champion Kidambi Srikanth advanced to the men s singles semifinals after a straight game win over sixth seed Kantaphon Wangcharoen of Thailand. However, the Indian conceded a 21-13 21-19 defeat against Vix Axelsen of Denmark in the clash on Saturday. This was the first clash between the two since their meeting at the 2019 India Open in March.
