Even though I was leading, nothing was for granted. It was a good game, and even she played well.?I was not just aiming at the body. It was a mix of everything. Sometimes, I was hitting out, but I was always alert, and ready for the next point. I didnt take it easy.Srikanth will next play two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan of China on Wednesday, while Sindhu will have to beat Chinas?Wang Yihan for a spot in the semifinals.?Its a tough match tomorrow against the world No.2, Sindhu said. A lot will depend on the strategy on that particular day, which Ill have to discuss with my coach.Sindhu had a 2-4 record against Tai Tzu going into the match, having beaten her last at the Denmark Open last year, but she opened up a 3-1 lead early on and managed to lead 11-6 at the break.Tai depended on her deceptive game to reduce the margin to 10-12, but she was equally erratic with her placements, while Sindhu showed better presence of mind. Sindhu won a video referral to reach game point at 20-13 and then pocketed it comfortably with Tai hitting wide.After the change of ends, Sindhu once again moved to a 3-1 lead but she erred twice on her backhand returns to give away two points. Tai tried to take away the pace from the rallies and came up with a few down-the-line smashes to make it 6-6 after Sindhu dropped her serve.However, Tais inability to rein in her unforced errors saw Sindhu lead 11-6 at the interval. Tai tried to put pressure on Sindhu but failed to give the finishing touch as Sindhu sailed away to a 14-7 lead.?Tai found it difficult to control the shuttle and hit long twice to allow Sindhu a lead of 17-11. A couple of drop shots deflected by the net chord took Sindhu to 19-12 before Tai sent one to the net to gift eight match points to Sindhu. Tai saved three match points before another long shot from her gifted Sindhu the match.?Earlier, Srikanth had joined Parupalli Kashyap as the only two Indian mens singles players to reach the quarterfinals of the Olympics.?Srikanth played his trademark attacking game throughout the tight match, taking every opportunity to land smashes and put Jorgensen under pressure.?The Dane ran him close in the second game -- which was tighter than the first despite the same scores -- but Srikanth pulled away at the end.Srikanth had earlier beaten Finlands Henri Hurskainen and?Mexicos Lino Munoz before the last 16 match.Srikanth, who is playing in his first Olympics, is ranked world No. 11.

Winchester, who was not penalized for the hit, appeared to make contact with Kellys head early in the first period of Thursdays game in Boston.TORONTO -- Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, who finished runner-up to Ryan Braun in voting for the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player award, thinks the suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger should be stripped of the honour. Braun finished with 388 points and 20 first-place votes, to 332 and 10 for Kemp. Major League Baseball attempted to suspend Braun following a positive test that October for elevated testosterone, but the penalty was overturned by an arbitrator who ruled Brauns urine sample was handled improperly. Braun agreed Monday to a 65-game suspension for unspecified violations of baseballs drug rules and labour contract. Asked Tuesday whether the award should be taken away from Braun, Kemp responded: "I mean, yeah, I do," pausing and adding, "I feel like it should be, but thats not for me to decide, you know?" Kemp said people feel "betrayed" by Braun. "Im disappointed," Kemp said. "I talked to Braun before any of this happened, we had conversations and I considered him a friend. I dont think anybody likes to be lied to and I feel like a lot of people have felt betrayed. Thats not just me, thats the whole Brewers organization, a lot of his teammates.dddddddddddd I think a lot of people feel that way." Jack OConnell, secretary-treasurer of the Baseball Writers Association of America, said the award vote was final. "The decision was already made. He won it," OConnell said in an email Monday. Kemp said he wasnt as comfortable as teammate Skip Schumaker in being openly critical. Schumaker said Monday that Braun should receive a lifetime ban, adding that he planned to take down an autographed Braun jersey hanging in his house. "Talking about things like this is very, very touchy, Kemp said. "Its weird. Me, I dont like to talk about this stuff but I feel like I have to a little bit. "Skip did come out and say some things and he said how he felt," Kemp added. "A lot of players dont do that but you respect guys who come out and say what they feel because thats what you respect, the truth." Kemp was out of the lineup for the second straight game Tuesday because of a sore left ankle. He returned from the disabled list Sunday after an 11-game absence caused by a sore left shoulder. ' ' '
