Sindhu has been assured a medal – India’s second at Rio Olympics. She will take on World No. 1 Carolina Marin of Spain in the final tomorrow. It would be interesting to see whether she wins a Gold or Silver.
Sindhu dominated Yokuhara in the second game. Both tied at 10-10 at one stage. But, the Indian played ruthlessly to collect 11 straight points to win the match.
