World No 3 Sindhu, who had reached the semifinals at Malaysia Open last week, didn’t break much sweat as she defeated Ohori, ranked 17th, 21-17 21-14 in a 36-minute women’s singles match. This is Sindhu’s fifth win over the Japanese in as many meetings.
The Indian will face either Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan or China’s He Bingjiao next.
HS Prannoy, Saina Nehwal and Sameer Verma will also be in action later in the day.
