It has been the season dominated by the Indian schuttlers, PV Sindhu has been a great flagbearer for the sport. Lat night, we saw a thriller when the Korean Sung Ji Hun and world number 3 really pushed the Olympic silver medalist Sindhu to the limit, taking the semi final into the third set. Finally, the Olympic medalist reigned supreme and held composure to make it to the finals. And whom is playing in the finals? Oh yes, the Olympic champion from Spain Carolina Marin. The Spaniard had defeated the Indian queen to win the Olympic crown.
So it is all set to be a humdinger of a Sunday, when the two schuttlers meet in the national capital, New Delhi, to play out the tenth chapter of what has been the badminton’s rivalry of the decade. This will be Sindhu’s home territory. Sindhu had defeated Marin once straight after the Rio Olympics but then lost to her in the Premier Badminton League. This will be another opportunity for the Indian queen to take revenge over her nemesis. Sindhu will have the whole nation rooting for her whereas Marin will also have a few supporters as she is pretty popular in this part of the world as well.
In the semis, Carolina breezed past fourth seed Akane Yamaguchi 21-16, 21-4 in straight games to set up the grudge match. What a Sunday in store for Indian fans, especially badminton lovers. It just does not get better.
Head to Head: 9 matches, Marin- 5, Sindhu- 3
In their first meeting way back in 2010, BWF World Junior Championships Sindhu defeated Marin 21-17, 21-19.
