Just too good
Sindhu is being completely outplayed at the moment. She has no answers to what the 19-year-old is throwing. She trails 2-5.

Sindhu trails
The second game has started and Sindhu is 0-3 down already. Worrying signs if you are an Indian fan.

21-11
An Se-young takes the first game 21-11 very very easily. PV Sindhu looked far off her best and she and Park Tae-Sang have a lot of work to do.
Sindhu can certainly push this into a decider, but the question is will the South Korean allow it? She has been BRILLIANT.

10 GAME POINTS
Not much PV Sindhu can do now. 10 Game points for An Se-young at 20-10.

Sindhu is frustrated!
That was her point to take, Se-young was down on the court but Sindhu hits it long while trying to be overaggressive. That was a shot in frustration!

Slipping away
This is slipping away quickly from the grasp of PV Sindhu. She trails 10-18 now.
- 22 Oct 2021 1:21 PM GMT
Unlucky for Se-young!
A long rally, Sindhu hits a perfect smash. Se-young dives full length to her right, connects it well but the shuttle refuses to go over. It hits the top of the net and stays on her side. The Korean leads 15-9.

Se-Young is brilliant at the net
An Se-Young is just too good at the net. Sindhu has to push her to back of the court and find some gaps here. Surely she knows it better than me. Sindhu trails 7-14.
- 22 Oct 2021 1:16 PM GMT
11-4
An Se-young goes into the mid-game break with an 11-4 lead. PV Sindhu is clearly struggling and is yet to find her rhythm.
The Indian needs to find her groove soon or else Se-young is just too good a player to allow her to make a comeback.

23-shot rally
A 23-shot rally wherein the South Korean dived full length once, but manages to recover to win the point. Sindhu trails 4-10.
