Thank you for joining us!
That's is all from us. Thank you for tuning into our live coverage. Hope you enjoyed as much as we loved bringing it to you.
Most of the points Okuhara has earned in this game have been result of Sindhu making an error rather than she earning it which speaks volume of how dominant Sindhu has been in the first game. Sindhu takes the first game 21-7 in just 16 minutes.
Okuhara tests Sindhu, drawing her forward and backward with her cross-court shots, and gets the reward as Sindhu's return hits the net giving Okuhara a point.
PV Sindhu faced defeat against Nozomi Okuhara in the World Championships final in 2017 while she lost to Spain's Olympic Gold medallist Carolina Marin in the 2018 edition. Before that Sindhu won two bronze medals in the same tournament.
