Denmark Open 2024:P.V Sindhu moves to second round, Lakshya knocked out- HIGHLIGHTS

Looks like Pai Yu Po has retired hurt!

PV Sindhu will advance to the next round since Pai Yu Po has chosen to withdraw. 

She had been moving rather slowly and she is holding her knee, looks like her injury has aggrevated. 

The scoreline is at 13-7, and Sindhu will go to the next round. 

Game two, Sindhu 12-7 Pai

After three consecutive points taken by Pai, Sindhu bounces back with a fiery smash which Pai could not return. 

12-7 now, in favor of the Indian.

Game two, Sindhu 11-4 Pai

Sindhu has a huge lead as the players head into the mid-game break, and the game is looking done and dusted.

Sindhu will most likely secure India its first win at the 2024 Denmark Open, in a day full of disappointing losses.

That's an outstanding cross court smash from Sindhu! 

At full stretch, she manages to get good contact with the shuttle and places it beyond Pai's reach on her right!

Once again, Sindhu has pulled away and has a sizeable lead. 

Game two, Sindhu 3-2 Pai

Sindhu is in the lead at the start of game two. 

Game two begins!

Sindhu goes 1-0 up in this tie and has barely broken a sweat.

The match will be in for a quick end if the first game's pattern continues in the second.

Sindhu is just four points away from taking a 1-0 lead in this match.
