Rio 2016 silver-medallist PV Sindhu’s stupendous form continued on Friday when she knocked out Japan’s ace shuttler Akane Yamaguchi 21-13, 22-20 in a blockbuster quarter-final women’s singles clash.
She reached the semi-finals with this win, and kept her hopes alive for a maiden Olympic gold medal.
In a tightly fought first game which lasted 23 minutes, Sindhu took the first game 21-13, as she showcased some of her brilliant smashes throughout the match.
In the second game, Sindhu was leading 11-6 as the players went to the break, but Yamaguchi bounced back hard to take the lead and make it 18-16. However, two unforced errors from Yamaguchi made way for Sindhu to return back in the game, and it was only a matter of time before she sealed the match.
Sindhu will now face either Intanon Ratchanok or Tai Tzu-ying in the last four clash.
Here are a few reactions to Sindhu’s win:
Plaudits from a fellow shuttler!
