PV SINDHU KNOCKED OUT
That's the end of the road in the Indonesia Open 2021 for PV Sindhu and her search for a final appearance continues. The reigning World Champion goes down 21-15, 9-21, 14-21 in 54 minutes.
Intanon is very happy with this win, and she has every right to be. Wonderful comeback after being a game down.

Has this slipped away?
Sindhu trails 10-16 in the decider, and I think this has already slipped away from her grasp. She has to unleash her beast mode NOW, if she is to win this from here.

Terrible miss
Sindhu did all the hard work in that 20-shot rally, but fails to close it off. That just tips the net and lands on her side. 7-14.

Wonderful!
A wonderful drop shot from Sindhu to start off the proceedings post the break. She trails 6-11.
