Tried to engage Yamaguchi

Close fight in the last game

The third game showed a close fight between the two at the start but the second seeded yamaguchi looked like she was struggling with a back problem. She stopped lunging forward and took awkward stances while playing back court shots. Sindhu took advantage to race away to 13-7 from 7 all before closing the game and match 21-13.
