Pusarla’s assured 22-20 21-10 win early in the day over Mia Blichfeldt allowed her to seal a place in the showpiece match in 43 minutes.
Marin later battled past a resolute Pornpawee Chochuwong 21-15 20-22 21-19 to turn into reality the blockbuster predicted and anticipated by many. The Spaniard leads their head-to-head 8-5.
While women’s singles lived up to expectations, Kunlavut Vitidsarn played spoiler in men’s singles, shocking an out-of-sorts second seed Lee Zii Jia 21-18 21-10.
