COPENHAGEN, Aug. 23, 2023 (TBINN) Former champion P.V. Sindhu’s wretched run continued as she bowed out of the World Championships but Lakshya Sen advanced to the third round with a straight-game demolition of Korea’s Jeon Hyeok Jin in men’s singles.
The most successful Indian at World Championships with five medals, Sindhu lacked any sting in her attack and went down tamely 14-21 14-21 to old nemesis Nozomi Okuhara of Japan, a 2017 Gold medallist and Silver winner in 2019.
It is the first time in her career that Sindhu, seeded 16th, has failed to reach the quarterfinals at the prestigious tournament.
