WS SF, Yeo Jia Min 22-24, 10-12 PV Sindhu [2]: “Don’t give her a chance now” is among the advice points from Vidhi Chaudhary. Also said something about using the spin serve instead of slow serve.

WS SF, Yeo Jia Min 22-24, 6-11 PV Sindhu [2]: Brain-fade from the chair umpire, repeatedly not allowing a challenge after the line judge said unsighted. Bizarre.

Women’s singles, Yeo Jia Min vs PV Sindhu [2]: Here’s a look at the head-to-head between Sindhu and Yeo. The Singaporean has yet to win a game against Sindhu, but this could potentially be the closest match yet between the two.

Mixed doubles: Looks like the Danes just delayed the inevitable.

Mixed doubles: What a fightback from Thyrri and Magelund, they have saved match points to take this match to a decider. Sindhu and Yeo have to wait.

Will this move to a decider? Sindhu is in action after this.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of badminton’s BWF World Tour. PV Sindhu will be in action in the semifinal at the Spain Masters Super 300. She is the last Indian standing at the event.

It’s been a while but PV Sindhu has made it to the weekend of a World Tour event for the first time in 2023. After missing out on a chance to go deep in Basel (her favourite venue) last week, she is now one win away from returning to the final in another Super 300 event.

It won’t be easy though as she takes on Yeo Jia Min of Singapore, who gave Sindhu a good test when they met last year at the CWG 2022 semifinals.
