    I think Sindhu simply follows her coach's instruction without thinking, and as long as her opponents who are more stressed than her can't figure it out on court, she's winning it.

    from the first few points, i thought PV ran out of gas. turns out it was NO who totally ran out after interval. that's just an incredible run of points.

    NO seems to struggle against tall players. she was beaten rather easily by Sun Yu in this year OUE Singapore Open. and now a crushing defeat to PVS.
