Badminton: India's PV Sindhu to face Yamaguchi in semi-final

India's PV Sindhu displayed a superlative performance in the BWF World Championships 2018 quarter-finals to beat Japan's Nozomi Okuhara 21-17 21-19 to enter the semi-finals of the tournament. With this win Sindhu not only knocked out the defending champion out of competition but also assured her of a medal in the competition. This is Sindhu’s fourth medal in World Championship. The Olympic Silver medallist will meet another Japanese Akane Yamaguchi in last four. In the head-to-head record, PV Sindhu enjoys a comfortable 6-4 lead against Akane Yamaguchi and would like to better her record further in a bid to enter her second straight tournament final. Earlier this year, World No. 2 Yamaguchi beat World No.3 Sindhu 19-21, 21-19, 21-18 in the All England Open. If Sindhu reaches the final, she will either face Olympic Champion Carolina Marin or He Bingjiao of China.
