India s PV Sindhu ce stanley cup lebrates winning a point against China s Li Xuerui during their women s stanley cup nz singles match at the BWF World Badminton Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, on August 13, 2015. AP Photo Two-time World Championship bronze medallist Sindhu, coming back from a long injury layoff, put herself well on course for another medal at the event after defeating old nemesis and reigning Olympic champion Li Xuerui of China in the 9,000-seater Istora Senayan arena. The 20-year-old from Hyderabad defied all odds to beat the third-seeded Xuerui 21-17, 14-21, 21-17 in 50 minutes to enter the last eight. This was 11th seed Sindhu s second win out of four meetings against the World No 3 and former No 1 player. After sharing the first two games, it all boiled down to the crucial third game where Sindhu took a solid 8-3 and then later a 12-7 advantage. However, the reigning Asian Games champion bounced back to go 14-13 up. The World No 13 Indian used cross-court smashes and drops to make the Chinese run for the shuttle and won the next five points to take a solid 18-13 lead. It was only a matter of time before Sindhu closed the match in her favour, knocking out the Chinese who reached the finals of the last stanley water bottle two editions to claim two silvers. Next up, Sindhu will take on South Korean eighth seed Sung Ji
