Sindhu, who has been unbeaten in the tournament so far, wrapped the first game against the World No 8 in 24 minutes. The Hyderabadi shuttler had a commanding start, winning five points on the trot. Glasgow World Championship bronze medallist Yufei made a quick recovery to go into the mid-game break, trailing Sindhu 11-10.
Sindhu said after the match, "I really want to be the first Indian woman to win this tournament. Yamaguchi will be a tough opponent. I will have to be prepared. It will be a long, big match, so not thinking anything now. There will not be easy points," she added.
Sindhu, who clinched the India Open and Korea Open titles, becomes the second Indian singles' player and fourth Indian after Saina Nehwal, Diju V and Jwala Gutta, to do so.
