0

Sindhu
registered
a
thrilling
win
over
China’s
He
Bing
Jiao
in
the
women’s
singles
quarterfinals
and
assured
herself
a
medal
in
the
continental
championships,
which
is
making
a
return
after
a
gap
of
two
years
due
to
the
Covid-19
pandemic.

The
fourth-seeded
Sindhu,
who
had
claimed
a
bronze
in
the
2014
Gimcheon
edition,
got
the
better
of
the
fifth-seeded
Chinese
21-9
13-21
21-19
in
a
quarterfinal
match
that
lasted
an
hour
and
16
minutes.

World
number
7
Sindhu
came
into
the
match
with
a
7-9
head-to-head
record
against
Bing
Jiao,
whom
she
has
beaten
twice
in
the
last
two
meetings.
Sindhu
galloped
to
11-2
lead
in
no
time
and
then
kept
things
under
her
firm
grip
to
take
a
1-0
lead
in
the
match.

Bing
Jiao
came
back
strongly
after
the
change
of
sides,
moving
to
6-4
lead
before
managing
a
slender
11-10
advantage.

After
the
break,
the
Chinese
reeled
off
five
points
on
the
trot
to
grab
a
19-12
lead
to
eventually
roar
back
into
the
contest.

In
the
decider,
it
was
2-2
early
on
but
Sindhu
unleashed
her
cross-court
smashes
to
gather
points,
moving
to
a
massive
11-5
lead
going
into
the
final
change
of
ends.

Bing
Jiao,
however,
scripted
a
recovery
after
the
interval
to
narrow
down
the
deficit
to
15-16
as
Sindhu
let
the
momentum
slip
despite
being
15-9
up
at
one
stage.

It
was
18-16
next
with
Sindhu’s
slice
going
to
the
net.
The
Indian
then
unleashed
a
body
smash
before
grabbing
four
match
points
with
Bing
Jiao
erring
on
the
backcourt.
The
Chinese
saved
three
match
points
before
Sindhu
prevailed.

Sindhu
will
now
face
Japan’s
Akane
Yamaguchi

who
top
seed

in
the
semi-finals
on
Saturday
(April
30).
