Sindhu showed incredible fighting spirit as she saved seven game points to win the first game 24-22. She made excellent use of the body smash and converted the only game point opportunity she had.
    Sindhu trailed 1-4 in the second game before taking a five-point lead at 11-6. No. 33 in the world Min, on the other hand, hit a stunning drop shot to tie the game at 17-17.
    Sindhu had two match points after that, but Min saved both before driving one wide, giving the Indian her third match point. Sindhu made no mistakes this time as Min found the net.
    Sindhu is competing in her first final since winning gold at the Commonwealth Games last year. She will face the winner of the second semifinal match between Carolina Marin, the local favourite and top seed, and Gregoria Tunjung of Indonesia.

    The victory will be a huge boost for Sindhu, who has struggled for form since returning to action after a lengthy injury layoff this season. Sindhu is no longer in the top ten for the first time since November 2016.
    She was eliminated in the first round of the All England Championship and failed to defend her Swiss Open Super 300 badminton title earlier this month. In January, she lost in the first round of both the Indian Open and the Malaysia Open.
