PV Sindhu vs Akane Yamaguchi Live Score, Australian Open 2026: Can Sindhu book the final spot?

PV Sindhu, the third seed, is the only Indian left in action at the Australian Open, a Super 500 tournament. That’s great news for Sindhu, not so good for Indian badminton. But that’s a discussion for another day.

Today, Sindhu will face her familiar foe Akane Yamaguchi, the tournament’s top seed.

Sindhu was in great form in the tournament. She reached the semifinals after crushing Chen Su Yu of Chinese Taipei 21-6, 21-9 in a quarterfinal that lasted just 27 minutes.

But Yamaguchi will be a tough and tougher test for Sindhu.
