Is it just me or is Sindhu playing extra-special today?? Seems to be moving a step faster, reading Intanon's every move, seems to have time to play her shots, and of course, almost no errors #IndiaOpenSuper500
— Kapil Choudhary (@kapil857) February 3, 2018

When she decides to play, she does this.

Ratchanok, in particular, has been among the very few who have troubled Sindhu over years. Infact, she’d thrash Sindhu at 7/8 on previous occasions... not anymore!

Two wins back to back against an in form Thai girl 👊🏼👊🏼

Yay, Pusarla Venkata Sindhu. Through to India Open Final again. #BWF
Paavam, Intanon so sweet, doing pranaam-thanks every time she got new shuttlecock.
