PV Sindu came from the tournament China Masters Super 750 badminton in Shenzhen and in the quarterfinals of the female singles suffered the defeat of straight games on the world No. 1. The double Olympic medalist dropped 14-21, 13-21 in just 38 minutes.
The loss was extended by Sindhua without a winning run against Young, while Korean now held the commanding lead 8-0 in their head record. To put it more, Sindu managed to win only one game across these eight meetings and emphasized her fight against Young.
Friday’s performance was in sharp contrast with earlier Sindhu matches in Shenzhen, where she looked sharp and aggressive. In the opening round, the Indian Julie Dawall Jakobsen 21-4, 21-10 in just 27 minutes demolished, which presented her dominance. She watched it with folded 21-15, 21-15 victories over the world no. In the pre -drag.
Against Young, however, Sindhu seemed rushing and unpredictable, often giving points with unforced mistakes when she desperately tried to break the rhythm of the opponent. Defeat also means that Sindu’s waiting for the semifinals on the world tour BWF in 2025 continues.
Despite the flashes of brilliance in recent tournaments, consistency and the ability to overcome the best rated rivals are concerned about the former world champion.

After being removed from Sindu in neighborhoods, Young will look for its form against Yamaguchi in the semifinals.
