Goodbye!

This has been a great, great day for Indian badminton after all the early setbacks. Let's hope our two golden girls can keep going further!

Final score: Sindhu def Jindapol 21-11, 16-21, 21-14 to enter the semis

Sindhu had to do it the hard way. After a blazing start, she lost her way and then found her aggression and power only towards the end, in what was a rollercoaster.

Just minutes after Saina ensured a medal for India, that was also the country's first ever women's singles Asiad medal, Sindhu gives the country a second medal!!!!!

What a day!!!!!

For 36 years, we didn't have an individual badminton medal at the Asiad, and now we have two!!!!!

Sindhu has DONE IT!!!!!!

It's a second medal for India!!!!!

Medal points for Sindhu!

Pure aggression that is!

19-13 now for Sindhu

And Jindapol struggling to return those high tosses.

Sindhu up 18-13

Now Sindhu looking fiery...fully aggressive...using every corner of the court to find a crosscourt smash!

Up 17-13 now

And Sindhu has a better body language now. Looking a bit angry, probably feeling the urge to speed up things now.

14-12 to Sindhu

And Jindapol helps Sindhu with an error in judgement.

She lets the shuttle go and it lands on the backline!

Jindapol says, "Not so fast!"

With a brilliant shot down the line, she makes it 11-13

And it is 13-8 to Sindhu now.

Jindapol lost balance and sat on the court and Sindhu finished with a winner.

Sindhu is up 12-8

Finally one shot that is so Sindhu!

Big smash and it is 11-7 lead for her at the midgame interval.

Jindapol aiding in Sindhu's comeback.

Sindhu still looking tired but trying to egg herself on.

With a drop that Jindapol can't return, Sindhu is up 9-7

Jindapol obliges and keeps sending the shuttle wide!

That has helped Sindhu to come back to 7-7

And Sindhu is just trying to hang in there by forcing the Thai to go for errors.

Sindhu closed the gap to one point but Jindapol looking more confident currently and has gone up to 6-4

Too many unforced errors from Sindhu at the moment....not having clarity in her thoughts.

4-2 to Jindapol

Can Sindhu find her spark back?

They are tied at 2-2 in the initial stages of the decider.

Suddenly Sindhu has lost her sharpness. This is very much reminiscent of her opening round match here, where she survived a scare.
