11-7
That was very close until a couple of minutes ago, but Ohori has all of a sudden managed to put PV Sindhu off her rhythm. The Japanese leads 11-7 at the mid-game interval.
A lot to work on for Sindhu here.

Lovely, Sindhu
Yet again a lovely drop from Sindhu. That one just about edged past the net. She leads 5-3.

Multiple errors!
Multiple errors from both the players and just some casual exchange of points. Sindhu leads 3-2.

Sindhu starts well!
Sindhu moves well on court and comes up with a wonderful cross-court drop to take the first point of the match.

PV Sindhu has arrived!
PV Sindhu is now out on court number 1. She is up against Japan's Aya Ohori and will start this as an overwhelming favourite. The duo has faced off 10 times in their career, with Sindhu winning each of those 10 contests.
Will the Indian continue her impeccable record, or will Ohori cause an upset?
