To go to the Malaysia Masters semifinals, PV Sindhu defeats top seed Han Yue in the quarterfinals.

PV In order to secure a quarterfinal matchup with Han Yue, Sindhu had defeated Kirsty Gilmour in her round of 32 match and South Korea's YJ Sim in her round of 16 match. India's top-ranked female shuttler is Sindhu.It is expected that Sindhu's victory will greatly increase her confidence because she has been finding it difficult to maintain her winning streak. It had been little over a month since the two shuttlers' first encounter, which she lost to Han Yue.On April 11 at the Asian Badminton Championships in Ningbo, China, Yue had put an end to Sindhu's run in a thrilling three-game match that ended 18-21, 21-13, 17-21.

Notably, the silver medallist from the Rio Olympics has been struggling with bad form for a very long time, which has caused her to fall out of the top 10 female shuttlers in the world rankings.Sindhu, who is presently ranked fifteenth, is working really hard to build back her self-assurance so that she can have the best chance of competing for the gold medal in the upcoming Olympics in Paris.
