Star Indian shuttler P V Sindhu advanced to the Indonesia Masters quarter-final after clinching a straight-game triumph over local favourite Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in Jakarta on Thursday.

 

Sindhu, seeded second, defeated Tunjung 23-21, 21-7 in 37 minutes to make the last-eight stage of her season-opener.

The Indian faced some competition in the opening game but completely dominated the second to keep her unbeaten record against Tunjung intact.
