Rio Olympic silver-medallist P.V. Sindhu will aim to book her place in the semifinals of the Thailand Open World Super 500 tournament when she crosses swords with Soniia Cheah of Malaysia in the last-eight clash of the women's singles event here on Friday.
The world number three had earlier progressed to the quarterfinals of the tournament with straight-games win over Hong Kong's Yip Pui Yin.
Sindhu, who clinched the silver medal at Commonwealth Games, remained dominated throughout the clash as she eased past Pui Yin 21-16, 21-14 in a one-sided second round clash that lasted 37 minute.
Sindhu will now look to seal the last-four spot when she takes on her Malaysian opponent.
This would be the first-ever meeting between the world number three Indian and world number 35 Malaysian.
Sindhu is the lone Indian shuttler left in the tournament after 2014 Commonwealth Games champion Parupalli Kashyap and fourth seed H.S. Prannoy bowed out after going down in their respective second round clashes of the men's singles event.
