The battle between the two Olympic medallist, Sindhu and Tunjung, has been going on since 2017. This time it was Sindhu who was triumphant as she secured an 11-10 lead in the first game and managed to close it with her unwavering determination. It is interesting to note that this marks Sindhu’s first win against Tunjung in the last three outings, with her previous two losses coming at the Madrid Masters final and Malaysian Masters semifinal.

The win for Sindhu was especially critical as she now moves on to face the third seed Tai Tzu Ying, against whom she has a unfavorable 18-5 record. For Tai Tzu Ying however, it is an opportunity to extend her reign at the top of the Women’s Badminton rankings.

Both players have already displayed their mettle in past tournaments, with Antonsen claiming the All England title in 2019 and Chou winning the Yonex Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold earlier this year.

Sindhu, Antonsen and Chou will have to be at the top of their game if they want to make it to the finals of the Badminton Asia Championships 2021. Only time will tell which of these players will come out on top and take home the prestigious title.
