French Open Super: India’s star shuttler PV Sindhu stormed into the quarter-final of the French Open Super 750 tournament after beating Beiwen Zhang of the USA as Kidambi Srikanth gets knocked out in the second round, here on Thursday.

For Sindhu, the journey back from a knee injury was marked by anticipation and determination. Stepping onto the court for her first BWF tour event since her return, the two-time Olympic medallist faced a formidable opponent in USA's Beiwen Zhang.

Despite a shaky start, Sindhu refused to be deterred from outgunning World No. 10 Zhang 13-21 21-10 21-14 to enter her first quarterfinal of the season.
