As PV Sindhu closed the gap down from 15-17 to 17-17 in the quarterfinals against Gregoria Mariska Tunjung at the India Open Super 750, the atmosphere was electric at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. The fairly strong crowd on Friday was living every point at the moment. One of them was 12-year-old girl, who had brought a hand-made poster with Sindhu’s photos and one of her own that said ‘I am the next Sindhu, coming soon.’ A huge fan of Sindhu’s, having taken a shine to badminton, she was jumping up and down from her front row seat as Sindhu nailed two winners to catch up with the Indonesian youngster. There was a real sense of hope in the arena that the Indian star was turning the match around, after starting the night with a 9-21 scoreline in the opening game. But then came a turning point. A 24-shot rally at 17-17. Sindhu started the point well, taking the shuttle early and keeping the pressure on Tunjung but the Indonesian started taking control when she …
