Double Olympics medallist P.V. Sindhu bowed out of China Open

Double Olympics medallist P.V. Sindhu bowed out of China Open losing to the host country’s Chen Yufei 16-21, 22-20, 21-18 in the pre-quarterfinals on Thursday.

This was a disappointing result, coming just a week after she won the Japan Open.

Chen, seeded fourth, was the dominant player in the first game taking a



comfortable 12-6 lead before Sindhu found her rhythm to level the scores at 16-all before pulling ahead with a splendid finish to win the first game 21-16.

The former Olympic silver medallist from India did put up a remarkable fight having four match points in the second game before the Chinese opponent staged a comeback to take the issue into the decider.
