Actually until yesterday I still had a chance. Unfortunately the match with Tai went the other way, so I didn't have a chance. Otherwise, it was a good game," Sindhu said.
Sindhu opened up a 9-5 lead early on before entering the interval with a two-point advantage. Chochuwong managed to turn the tables at 15-14 but a determined Sindhu ensured there was no hiccups as she claimed the opening game.In the second, Sindhu dished out a dominating game as she jumped to a 6-0 lead and then kept moving ahead, keeping her rival at bay to seal the contest without much ado.Srikanth, however, went down 21-12 18-21 19-21 to Hong Kong's NG Ka Long Angus in what was yet another narrow defeat in a three-game thriller.In the second game, Srikanth was up 13-10 at one stage but couldn't capitalise as his rival made a successful comeback.
