To think that Intanon at one stage is 2 match points down against Tunjung. What is meant to be , ....
Somehow I still feel Nozomi's tenacity in defence, retrieving and counterattcking ability as well as superior stamina should pose a bigger challenge to Sindhu than Intanon.
If No doesn't win today or worse fails to force the decider, it'll be a huge waste. She's the fav in this match, not to mention how astoundingly she has performed in the entire tournament. She'll be kicking herself to let RI take those 9pts to take g1. Why is she not able to kill any shuttle today?
Okuhara attack is just average today. She cant even hurt RI let alone PSV. The only way is RI gets tired.
Imagine, Intanon is only 24 years old and it seems like she's been around for a long time, 10 years to be specific, from age 14 when she started in the pro circuit as a child prodigy. Incredible, amazing.
True, Chen was completely overwhelmed, out of sorts and not her usual self. Her plodding way of play could not match Sindhu's style of aggressive play. Chen seemed so vulnerable and tired, as earlier shown her QF clash with the Danish player, but won only through the final few points.Big improvement for Sindhu, with a good Korean coach to motivate her. Kudos to her and expecting a great final!
