India's PV Sindhu defeated Akane Yamaguchi of Japan to enter the semifinal of the Hong Kong Open on Friday.
Second seed Sindhu outplayed the fifth seeded Japanese shuttler 21-12, 21-19 in a match which lasted 37 minutes.
In the first game, Sindhu played aggressively throughout which helped her seal the issue.
At one point, in the second game, Sindhu was trailing but soon the Indian shuttler bounced back in style and matched the pace of her opponent.
The last few points saw a see-saw battle between the duo but it was Sindhu who proved superior and bagged the match to advance.
Sindhu will now take on sixth seed Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand, who defeated Michelle Li of Canada in the quarters.
