Demark Open LIVE - Day 3 - Sameer Verma beats Anders Antonsen - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
17-11
Busanan trying all she can to stay in the contest, but Sindhu has managed to defy her so far.
Comfortable for Sindhu
Some exchange of points and Sindhu is comfortable with a 14-9 lead.
7-point lead
Busanan has suddenly lost all the momentum. Sindhu, on the other hand, has regained her confidence and has a 7-point lead at 13-6.
Sindhu challenges
A smash from Busanan which is called in. Sindhu went up immediately and loses a challenge. Just 1 challenge left for her in the match.
11-5
A very comfortable 6-point lead for Sindhu before we change ends. This should have been more than enough on any other day for the double Olympic medallist, but Busanan is playing some terrific badminton today.
Can Sindhu close this off quickly?
Turning on the heat!
Sindhu knows it is now or never. She has done it before at even bigger stages. She is making all that experience count now. 10-5 lead for the Indian.
3-point lead
This is a good start for Sindhu in the decider. She leads 7-4.
Much needed for the Indian, who looked dejected at the end of the second game.
WHAT A RALLY!
Busanan did everything she could to stay in that 34-shot rally. She almost fell over twice but managed to return and recover. However, Sindhu finds a slight gap and just places it wonderfully to go 5-3 ahead.
"Why are you sad?"
"Why are you sad? Why are you so angry?" asks Park Tae Sang to a completely demoralised Sindhu.
This is not a good sign by any means, if you are an Indian fan.
