What a day for Sindhu and what a day for us, Sindhu fans!
This night and this win will be etched in our memory for long. If you missed the match and parts of the blog, don't worry, we have got you covered.
And that's that. Sindhu wins 16-21, 21-16, 21-19. A terrific effort, that one. It had us on our seats, it gave us thrill, suspense and more!
The Indian reigning World Champion takes on Pornpawee Chochuwong in the last 4.
21-19 in the deciding game, coming back from a game down. Brilliant, PV. BRILLIANT!
19 all in the decider!
Can you believe it? No one could have predicted this. Stay on the edge of your seats!
And for the first time since the breather, Yamaguchi goes into the lead. Can she hold on? Crucial stage.
It's edging closer to the end and the tension is palpable. Yamaguchi doesn't look like she is about to give up, Sindhu looks determined and it's impossible to predict the outcome.
Every point is being fought for, and is being decided by inches. How are my nails still surviving this?
Just when you thought Sindhu was running away with the match Yamaguchi sends a gentle reminder. She was World No. 1 for a reason. She is World No. 3 for a reason. The match is far from over.
INCREDIBLE! 37 SHOTS IN THAT RALLY!
Psychologically, that was huge point for Sindhu!
