Porntip leads comfortably in game 2 at 11-5 Is she just too good for Sindhu now? Or does young Sindhu have A PLAN?
18-13 to Porntip in game 2 now... 19-14 now... Sindhu getting dangerously close at 19-15... Porntip moves away to 20-15! and closes out Game 2 at 21-15. on to the rubber... meanwhile, a word from our sponsors....
Every time Sindhu plays a 3-setter, I wonder if they keep the EMS on standby... she looks so undernourished!
but no matter. As long as she's on court, she's having a ball. Sindhu leads 6-2 in the rubber before you can ask " PV who?"
Sindhu needs a burst of another 2-3 points to keep Porntip away. Now is the time for the Thai girl to make her move, or else...
Sindhi went up 13-7 but Porntip narrowed the gap to 13-12 now, with some net winners! And just in time, Sindhu goes up 14-12 now 15-12...
Sindhu wins game 3, 21-13 Just not Porntip's day, coming up against a girl who is having the run of her life! Poor Porntip must be shaking her head, muttering, "where's the respect?" Great win for Sindhu, though, who moves on to the finals, where lying is wait for her is #2 seed and local favourite Yao Jie.
...meanwhile, the 2nd-ranked WD pair of Shinta Mulia Sari/Lei Yao from Singapore, got through in straight games 21-18, 24-22 against 3rd-ranked Sandra and Birget from Germany.... Its going to be Singapore v/s Thailand in the finals. These pairs have not clashed swords previously, so it should be an interesting first encounter...
