India, 12 December 2025 — Indian badminton ace PV Sindhu secured her place in the quarterfinals of the Hong Kong Open after defeating Supanida Katethong of Thailand in straight sets. The match, held at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Thursday, saw Sindhu displaying a dominant performance with scores of 21-16, 21-12.
Sindhu, currently ranked 7th in the world, is seeking her first title of the season in this Super 500 event. Her aggressive playstyle and precise shots were too much for Katethong, who struggled to find her rhythm throughout the match.
The victory sets up a quarterfinal clash against South Korea's An Se-young, who is a formidable opponent with a series of strong performances this year. The upcoming encounter is expected to be a challenging one for Sindhu, given An's recent form.
The Hong Kong Open is a crucial tournament for Sindhu as she aims to gather momentum for the upcoming BWF World Tour Finals. Sindhu's advancement is significant not just for her personal career but also for Indian badminton, as it represents the country's continued presence on the international stage.
The tournament is ongoing, with several top seeds vying for the title, making every match crucial in the lead-up to the season's end.
