Sixth-seeded Saina Nehwal registered an easy 21-18, 21-9 over Eriko Hirose of Japan in 47 minutes to enter the women's singles semifinals of the $750,000 Star Australian Super Series on Friday.
However, eighth-seeded P.V. Sindhu faced 21-17, 21-17 defeat against Carolina Marin of Spain to crash out of the tournament.
In the semi-final, Saina will take on World No. 2 Shixian Wang of China. The Indian top seed enjoys a 4-3 record against Wang, the two-time All England champion.
"Won a tough quarter final against Hirose. I play Wang Shixian in the semi final on Saturday. Keep supporting me friends," Saina wrote on her twitter handle after winning the quarterfinal match.
The London Olympics bronze-medallist started the match on a high as she opened up a 4-0 lead in the beginning and then took no time in widening the lead to 8-2.
From there on, Saina maintained her dominance and won the match quite easily.
