PV Sindhu’s BWF World Championships Campaign Ends in Pre-Quarterfinals Against Wang Zhi Yi
World Championship: India's star badminton player PV Sindhu lost at the BWF World Championships. Sindhu's women's singles campaign ended with a loss in the pre-quarterfinals. Sindhu lost to China's Wang Zhi Yi in this match.
The journey of PV Sindhu at the BWF World Championships ended yesterday. In the women’s singles pre-quarterfinals match, Sindhu lost to Wang Zhi Yi from China in three sets 21-11, 15-21, 21-17. Sindhu seemed unhappy about her performance, and in post-match comments, she said that she should have been a little more patient. Sindhu was seeking record sixth medal in this championship.
In the game, Chinese player Wang Zhi took seats on the court several times due to injuries, and hence, several stops had been taken during the game. In response to this incident, Sindhu commented, "I do not know whether she (Wang Zhi) was injured or not. But I guess it could have been her strategy or way of playing. But I feel that I should have won the game because it was a tough game, the rallies were long, and when the score was 17-17, every point was important. I think I should have been a little more patient."
The Indian star shuttler said, "Yes, a loss like this hurts a lot. After training and working so hard for so long, losing a match like this really hurts. However, I think that's the game. That's how it is. I think this is how you become stronger and make a great comeback. You also learn from the mistakes you make in such matches. What's done is done. I think now it's time to go back and do what's necessary."
