\"PVDubai: Indian star shuttler P.V. Sindhu<\/a> went down to Sung Ji Hyun of South Korea in the semi-finals of the BWF Superseries Finals<\/a> at the Hamdan Sports Complex here on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Olympic 2016 silver medallist Sindhu lost 15-21, 21-18, 15-21 as she was topped by 2014 Asian champion Sung, who looked clearly the better shuttler on the day.<\/p>\n

Following the win, the South Korean improved her head-to-head record against Sindhu to 4-6.<\/p>\n

World No.5 Sung will meet world No.1 Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei in the final. Tai moved past Sun Yu of China 21-19, 21-19 in the other semi-final in 50 minutes.<\/p>\n

The final presents an opportunity for Sung to avenge the 2014 Superseries Finals’ summit clash loss to Tai, who then had prevailed in straight games at this same venue.<\/p>\n

Sindhu, who was playing in her maiden Superseries Finals, the season-ending meet, looked off-colour on the day. Even though she refused to give up and fought hard for each point, she committed a lot of unforced errors.<\/p>\n

Her strokes had the power but not accuracy and due to this she largely suffered at critical junctures. Early in the first game, Sindhu was trailing 2-4 but she equalised only to let a couple of shots go wide, resulting in a three-point lead for Sung at 7-4.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Sung kept the 22-year-old Indian off balance, never allowing her to equalise. But the Indian remained in contention till it was 14-15 in favour of the South Korean.<\/p>\n

Sung then produced a barrage of delectable cross-court half smashes to rattle four consecutive points to walk away with the first game 21-15.<\/p>\n

In the second game, Sindhu fought back and held a 9-6 lead at a point of time. But Sung managed to claw her way back into the game. And afterwards, it was a close contest until the 18-point mark when Sindhu managed to hold her own to clinch the second game 21-18.<\/p>\n

In the deciding game, Sung, a fast mover within the court compared to Sindhu, played her best game. The 25-year-old South Korean raced away to a 4-0 lead that quickly became 8-3. And till the mid-game break and change of ends, it was 11-6 in favour of Sung.<\/p>\n

Sindhu, who looked a bit tired, failed to put up a fight like she did in the second game, which really took its toll on her. Sung snatched points one after another and a 16-10 lead meant the writing was on the wall for Sindhu, who then surrendered the game 15-21.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the men’s singles final will be fought between China’s Tian Houwei and Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen. While Houwei got the better of Denmark’s Jan ‘O’ Jorgensen 21-17, 19-21, 21-13 in an hour and two minutes, Axelsen topped Wan Ho Son of South Korea 21-17, 21-19 in 55 minutes.<\/p>\n

China’s Chen Qing and Jia Yifan and Olympic gold medal winners Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi from Japan won the women’s doubles semi-finals, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\n

In the tournament’s first semi-final taking place Saturday, Danish duo Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl, who were last year’s runners up, lost 12-21, 11-21 against an almost perfectly harmonising duo of Matsutomo and Takahashi.<\/p>\n

“It was a tough match,” said Juhl. Pedersen paid tribute to their opponents, saying, “Misaki and Ayaka played really well, not only today, but throughout the tournament so far.”<\/p>\n

China’s Chen and Jia defeated South Koreans Chang and Lee 23-21, 22-20 after a fifty eight minute contest.<\/p>\n

Chang, 27, of South Korea said she suffered from some pain in her right thigh which weighed on her performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
