Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu progressed to the second round of the women\'s singles competition but HS Prannoy and Kidambi Srikanth faltered in the opening hurdle of men\'s singles at the All England Championships on Tuesday. World No. 11 Sindhu, a former world champion, won the first game 21-10 but her German opponent, world No. 26 Li Yvonne Li, then decided to retire, paving the way for the Indian to the next round. The 28-year-old from Hyderabad is likely to next face top seed Korean An Se Young, who has proved her nemesis, having defeated her all six times they have crossed paths in international badminton.
