Marin Undefeated by Sindhu for Six Years

Struggling largely on account of form and injuries, Sindhu managed a great match vs Marin. But having said that, the latter’s stupendous record against Sindhu still stands. The Indian’s last win over her came in Malaysia Open 2018 quarters. On the other hand, the Spaniard extended her record over Sindhu to 12/6.

The Hyderabadi looked the better player for the most part of the match, but couldn’t close it when it mattered the most. She moved exceptionally well on the court and kept up the pressure on Marin throughout.
