Marin, who is the World No 1 has a slight advantage over Sindhu since she has won four of the seven encounters between the two.
Sindhu, the World No. 10, who will be looking to ending ace shooter Abhinav Bindra's reign as the country's sole individual Olympic gold-medallist, understands Marin's game. But Marin has been in terrific form. Marin, the world champion, after all beat defending Olympic champion Li Xuerui of China 21-14, 21-16 to enter her maiden Olympic final.
