Srikanth will face anyone between Yuji of China and Denmark's Hans-Kristian Vittinghus, whoever emerges as victorious in the second quarter final match.
On the other hand, Sindhu crashed out of the semi final as she failed to secure a win against world no.1 Ying. She lost it by 10-21, 22-20, 21-16.
PV Sindhu will rue that match point opportunity in the second game but it was indeed a valiant fight against the world number one. Hard luck
