Copenhagen: India's teen sensation P V Sindhu stormed into the third round of the World Badminton Championship with a straight game victory over Olga Golovanova of Russia in women's singles match here on Wednesday.
The men's doubles pair of Manu Attri and Sumeeth Reddy B stunned 15th seeded Japanese duo of Hirokatsu Hashimoto and Noriyasu Hirata 21-19 21-19 in 44 minutes to advance to the third round.
However, it was curtains for women's doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa after they lost their second round match to fifth seeded Chinese combination of Qing Tian and Yunlei Zhao without putting up a fight.
Manu and Sumeeth will face the winner of the match between Korea's Yong Dae Lee and Yeon Seong Yoo and Aussie pair of Raymond Tam and Glenn Warfe.
Sindhu, seeded 11th, took 40 minutes to prevail over her Russian opponent 21-12 21-17 in the second round match at the Ballerup Super Arena here. She will next take on sixth seeded Yeon Ju Bae of Korea. Sindhu won a total of 42 points as compared to 29 by the Russian girl.
The world No. 12 from Hyderabad looked a bit rusty to start with. She gained momentum despite trailing in the opening game.
