Sindhu wins 21-11, 21-17

PV Sindhu begins her All-England campaign with a 21-11, 21-17 win over Malaysia's Soniia Cheah in the opening round (Round of 32).

The fifth-seeded Indian will look forward to better her 2018 semi-final finish and win this time around. The prestigious All-England has been won by just two Indians so far – the Prakash Padukone (1980) and Pullela Gopichand (2001).

This tournament is a Super 1000 event but not part of the Tokyo Olympic qualification calendar.
