There was chaos at the Istora GBK, the badminton venue here yesterday, due to a mistake in the online schedule of matches. According to the original schedule, the men's singles final between Indonesia's Jonathan Christie and Chinese Taipei's Tienchen Chou was scheduled for 12pm followed by the women's singles final between PV Sindhu and Taipei's Tai Tzu Ying. However, last morning, an error in the online schedule saw the timings reversed, making Sindhu's match first.

If that was not enough, some of the Indian fans and mediapersons, who arrived at the venue in time for the Sindhu match, were not allowed to enter as the stadium was already full, with Indonesian fans cheering for their national hero Christie. After a lot of coaxing, the volunteers reluctantly relented and allowed the Indians in.
