She'll be meeting one of the Japanese ladies in the semi. What's her record against them?

I just wish a semi was a guaranteed bronze -which I think happens in WCs.

I actually watched the whole match and yet, we actually got a win

[arjun2761]

Sindhu gets the winner of the Japanese matchup of Okuhara and Yamaguchi. LXR and Carolina Marin meet in the other semi-finals. Hoping for Sindhu to make the finals here...

[ankit1407]

Well done Sindhu and Gopi, am sure this victory will give her below that she can go all the way here..Go Girl...

Excellent match, congratulations Sindhu Two more wins for a Gold Medal

[PKBasu]

Having watched her terrific all-court game, I am excited about PV Sindhu's match. She is deft at the net, her overhead smashing is impeccable and her height and agility bolster her court coverage. At the age of 21, I think she is ready to pull off a big upset tonight, helped by the tactical acumen of Gopichand.

Thank you, Pusarla Venkata Sindhu

[PKBasu]

She is already the first Indian woman to get a medal at a World Championship (bronze). Let us hope she can go two better at the Olympics.

And Srikanth Kidambi will add to our happiness by taking out another legend tonight!

Nice win, Sindhu!

The Narsingh Yadav fiasco is the worst self-goal imaginable.

But I think Yogeshwar Dutt is ready to medal again.

Should we make Badminton our national game after we get these two gold medals in singles?

Prakash and Gopichand blazed a trail, and now these three (Saina, Sindhu, Srikanth) have taken it up.
