Sindhu's fighting run fell short at the Quarterfinal stage

PV Sindhu could not breach past the quarterfinals, losing a tight three-game match to world no.9 Putri Wardani of Indonesia.

Wardani played some beautiful, deceptive shots to make Sindhu run all over the court and finish with the easy winners in the end. Sindhu countered that with her long reach cross cross-court shots, gaining some time from the retrieval.

In the final game, the same tactics worked for both players, and the scores were almost even post mid-game, but in the end, Sindhu lacked composure and made a couple of unforced errors while going for overkill.

Final Score: PV Sindhu (IND) 14-21, 21-13, 16-21 Putri Wardani (INA)
