Chochuwong beats Sindhu 21-17, 21-9 in just 45 minutes and with that India's challenge at the All England Open comes to an end. The Thai's strategy worked brilliantly and Sindhu had no answer whatsoever.

Sindhu's dreams of making a first final appearance at the tournament also remain unfulfilled.

How much a factor has fatigue been for Sindhu? Did the clash against Yamaguchi drain her this much?

The game is just going away from Sindhu's hands, looks like just a matter of minutes before it's all over for her.

Chochuwong goes into the breather of the second game with a seven-point advantage. Is there any way back from Sindhu here?

2021-03-20 12:29 GMT

Chochuwong is all over Sindhu! She has a six-point lead now, and it's only getting better and better.

Chochuwong gameplan seems to be simple. She is hitting long, forcing Sindhu to go on the backfoot before suddenly upping the pace of the game with vicious smashes or drop shots. And, her strategy is paying dividends.

2021-03-20 12:24 GMT

Chochuwong clearly has a gameplan in her mind and Sindhu hasn't been able to reply yet! The Indian has no answer!

2021-03-20 12:21 GMT

With that, the Thai takes a 1-0 lead in the semifinal. Sindhu loses 17-21, but she made a comeback after being a game down against Yamaguchi yesterday and there's every chance that it will happen again today. Stay tuned!
