Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu is set to tie the knot with Hyderabad-based Venkata Datta Sai, an Executive Director at Posidex Technologies, on December 22 in Udaipur.
India ace P V Sindhu advanced to the quarterfinals with a straight-game win over Japan’s Sayaka Sato but B Sai Praneeth crashed out of the French Open BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament here.
Sindhu, seeded third, dished out a compact game to outwit Sayaka 21-17 21-16 in a second round match on Thursday to set up a clash with seventh seeded Chinese He Bingjiao.
