All-England Badminton: Sindhu Crashes Out In Opening Round
England Badminton Championship: Two-time Olympic medallist P.V. Sindhu suffered a disappointing first-round exit from the All-England Badminton Championship 2025, losing to South Korea’s Kim Ga-eun in Birmingham on Wednesday. Despite a promising start, the World No. 16 fell 21-19, 13-21, 13-21, extending her struggles at this prestigious Super 1000 tournament.
Sindhu had looked in control in the opening game, surging to a 19-12 lead. However, Kim fought back to save seven game points before Sindhu eventually closed it out 21-19. Letting out a roar of relief, Sindhu seemed poised to build on the momentum. But what followed was a complete shift in control.
Kim dictated the rallies in the next two games, capitalizing on Sindhu’s lack of rhythm and movement. The Indian, playing with visible taping on her right knee, struggled to respond to Kim’s cross-court placements and decisive net play.
