Commenting on the semi-final match, PV Sindhu looked to be completely in command over the semi-final match against Saena Kawakami at the Singapore Open. While Kawakami just couldn’t control the shuttle and made a tonne of errors during the match that ultimately led to her defeat. The power in her stroke and her whipping smashes, helped Sindhu to get a three-point lead at the break. Overall, the Japanese had no answer to the Indian’s attacking forehand returns and deft backhand flicks that paved the way for the latter’s win.
