Sindhu worked so hard in the second set. It was a nail-biting finish and Yamaguchi almost bagged the second set. But, Sindhu maintained her composure and scored the final crucial points with some impressive shots. With this victory, Sindhu is into the semi-finals.
On 25th July, Sindhu defeated K. Polikarpova, N.Y. Cheung on 28th July. Yesterday, she defeated Denmark player Mia Blichfeldt and entered the quarter-finals. With today’s victory, she is into the semi-finals.
PV Sindhu was the first Indian woman to earn an Olympic silver medal in 2016. She rose to a career-high World ranking of no. 2 in April 2017.
