‘Not sure if she was injured or it was a strategy’: PV Sindhu on opponent Wang Zhi Yi after BWF World Championships exit

Day 4 of the BWF World Championships delivered high-octane drama, but it ultimately witnessed a big heartbreak for India as PV Sindhu’s campaign came to an agonizing close in a high-stakes thriller, bringing her hunt for a historic sixth World Championship medal to a painful halt. Third-seeded Wang Zhi Yi pushed the Indian superstar to her absolute limits in a gruelling, roller-coaster contest that kept the arena on edge, with Sindhu faltering only in the final stretch after giving everything on the court. The final scoreline was 21-11, 15-21 and 21-17 in the Chinese shuttler's favour.The momentum shifted during the match when the Chinese shuttler appeared to experience some discomfort and took medical time-outs on a couple of occasions: first one in the third game at 16-16 and the second one a few moments later at 18-17.
