    Hope she can keep it for the final! She can be quite inconsistent at times. Hoping for a great final. Fantastic day for Indian badminton.

    Who would've imagined, a player who's never even won a superseries is in the final of the Olympics for a shot at gold.

    Hats off to Sindhu, you've defied all odds. Well done. Keep it up. Next , go get Marin.

    Sindhu simply demolished Nozomi in second part of second game. Totally different game plan.

    That's why people will say , players need to have more plans when they step into court.

    Seeing Marin's face should be enough for her to be back in the zone.

    Will LXR play tomorrow to win the bronze. I hope she is all right to play but I wouldn't expect her to show up for her own health and career after Olympic. This Olympic bronze medal is just not worth it.

    NO one expected her to reach finals.....I think even WSX got more votes than her to reach the finals.....

    If Sindhu plays like today, not even the mighty Carolina can beat her.
