P.V. Sindhu staged another upset as she beat former World No.1 and current 8th ranked Shixian Wang of China in the quarter-finals of the BWF World Championships. Sindhu won the game 21-18, 21-17.
Coming into this match after making a huge upset yesterday against World No.2 Wang Yihan, Sindhu started her match against the former World No.1 a bit slowly but gathered pace in her game after 10 minutes. She was able to maintain a 5 point lead for some time as well. Game 1 wasn’t looking tough, but both players went neck-to-neck and the final score was 21-18 in Sindhu’s favor.
In the second game as well, Sindhu started her campaign convincingly and in no time had the lead, 6-2. But the former world no.1 wasn’t ready to give away points that easily and fought hard. All through game 2 Sindhu was able to maintain a two or three point lead, which proved to be an advantage for her.
She ultimately won the match 21-18, 21-17.
