Having qualified for the season ending Dubai World Superseries Finals, PV Sindhu will lk to win in the finals of the Hong Kong Superseries, where she takes on Chinese Taipeis Tai Tzu Ying.If Sindhu wins on Sunday, shell become the second Indian to win back to back Superseries titles. She had won the China Open Superseries last week. Saina Nehwal has won the Singapore and Indonesia Super Series last year.This will be Sindhus second superseries final appearance this year. She had only made one superseries final before this year, the Denmark Open in 2014, where she lost to Chinas Wang Yihan.Head to head Ying has won four of the seven matches that they have played. However, Sindhu defeated Ying 21-13, 21-15 in their last match at the Rio Olympics at the last 16 stage. Sindhu has won three of their last five matches.Recent record Ying is ranked third in the world, while Sindhu is ranked ninth. Ying has been in scintillating from this year and lost only 12 of the 51 matches that she has played. Sindhu has played an equal number of matches, but has lost 16 of them. Ying emerged victorious at the Indonesia Superseries and was the losing finalist at the Denmark Open and Malaysia Open Sperseries.Form this tournament Sindhu has only dropped one game in her four matches in the tournament and played her best match in the semifinal. On the other hand, Ying has had to battle it out for three games in three of her four matches in Hong Kong.On-court strategy Ying is one of the more unusual players on the womens circuit as she does not rely overtly on power or long rallies. Ying is known to be a master at deception and is very gd at changing her shot at the last moment. However, shes an impulsive player and has a knack of losing focus if the opponent tackles her flick shots well.The key for Sindhu will be to move freely around court and try to mix up the pace of the match and not let Ying dictate the play and get the lead early as that is when she generally thrives.Big match experience Both the players are equally matched in this department as Ying has four Superseries titles while Sindhu has an Olympic silver and two World Championship bronze medals in her kitty.Schedule and broadcast info When: 110 AMWhere: Star Sports 4 & Star Sports 4 HD CHARLESTON, S.C. -- It was turkey time at the Charleston Classic for Wake Forest ??? and not just because its November.Demon Deacons coach Danny Manning said assistant coach Randolph Childress challenged their players to get three defensive stops in a row. We called it a turkey, Manning said.Wake Forest picked up several turkeys Sunday night in a 78-61 victory over College of Charleston to finish third in the eight-team tournament.Manning said he wanted his players focused on defense and Childress found a catchy way to do that. We had three turkeys in the first half, Manning said. Not sure how many we had in the second half, but the guys kind of rallied around that. I think were going to try and use that all year long.Especially if it leads to more defensive efforts like Wake Forest (4-1) had in beating the Cougars (3-2).The Deacons held Charleston to 33.3 percent shting overall and 27.8 percent on threes. They had five blocks and out-rebounded their opponents 36-30 in finishing 2-1 at TD Arena.Bryant Crawford scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half and John Collins added 15 points for Wake Forest.The Demon Deacons tk control against the home-standing Cougars with a 15-6 run over the final six minutes of the opening half. They kept the pressure up after the break as Crawford had a 3-pointer and a three-point play to build a 62-42 lead midway through the period.College of Charleston (3-2) sliced that margin in half with 10 straight points, but could get no closer to lose for a second straight game.The shots were just falling, Crawford said. Coach gets on me a lot about missing layups, but today I made them.Crawford ended 7 of 12 from the field and had two of Wakes eight 3-pointers.Joe Chealey led Charleston with 19 points.Wake Forest closed an up-and-down event on a high note. It opened by hitting the 100-point mark for the first time eight years with a 103-81 victory over UTEP, then fell 96-77 to No. 3 Villanova despite shting 50 percent from the field.ddddddddddddhis time, the Deacons mostly clicked throughout against the pesky Cougars. They finished over 50 percent (28 of 54) from the field, the fourth time in five games with such a high percentage.BIG PICTUREWake Forest: The Demon Deacons have a large group of athletic young players like sophomores Bryant Crawford, Keyshawn Wds and John Collins and freshman Brandon Childress who all saw extensive action at the Charleston Classic -- minutes that will serve them well once Atlantic Coast Conference play starts in five weeks or so. The 6-ft-10 Collins has led the Demon Deacons in four of five games this season, including all three at TD Arena this week.College of Charleston: The Cougars have to find their scoring touch if they hope to make a run in the Colonial Athletic Association this winter. Charleston shot less than 29 percent in a loss to UCF on Friday night and was struggling to make shots once more against Wake Forest.LOTS OF DEACONSWake Forest coach Danny Manning used 11 players, in part because of early foul trouble for starters Dinos Mitoglou and John Collins. Still, the team got solid showings from players not typically in the rotation. I really like our balance, Manning said. For us to get a win with John only playing 14 minutes and Dinos only 17, I think that speaks volumes to the balance we have on our team.COLD CHARLESTONCollege of Charleston struggled with its shting throughout the tournament, something the Cougars know must improve in a hurry. Its early, Charleston guard Joe Chealey said. Its only the first five games of the season. Weve got to trust the process.UP NEXTWake Forest returns home to play Coastal Carolina on Wednesday night.College of Charleston travels to No. 3 Villanova on Wednesday night.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
