BWF World C’ship: Sindhu Goes Down Fighting Against Wardani, India's Medal Hopes Rely On Satwik-Chirag (Ld)
BWF World Championships: PV Sindhu's hopes of bagging a historic sixth BWF World Championships medal came to an end with a quarterfinal defeat against Indonesian 9th seed Putri Kusuma Wardani on Friday.
The Indian shuttler, who stunned world No. 2 Wang Zhi Yi of China in the round of 16 clash, lost to Wardani 14-21, 21-13, 16-21 in a gruelling one-hour and four-minute encounter.
Sindhu began the match on the back foot, with Wardani breaking away after the score was tied at 6-6 to take an 11-7 lead into the mid-game break. The Indian never quite found her rhythm in the opener and went down 21-14. The second game, however, saw a complete shift in momentum. After edging ahead 4-3, Sindhu strung together six consecutive points to take control. Wardani managed to claw three points back, but Sindhu maintained her dominance to go into the interval with an 11-6 advantage.
