Sindhu unshackles her power game to beat world No.2 Wang
Hindustan Times Delhi
|August 29, 2025
The 30-year-old produces one of the upsets of the event and once again gives notice of her class
RAJGIR: “This one’s going to be tough.Itisgoingtotake something very special from (PV) Sindhu to prevent what many will be looking at as a fairly comfortable win for Wang Zhi Yi,” commentator Bobby Griffin commented as the two shuttlers warmed up ahead of their women's singles third round clash.
Most regular followers of the game wouldn't have questioned Griffin. After all, world No.2 Wang hasbeen in top form this year with as many as seven finals.Many would've bet on her reaching the BWF World Championships podium this weekend in Paris, But few would have shown any confidence in Sindhu.
Poor form, injuries, criticism about her game, questions about her motivation and future — the former world champion has had toendure quitea bitof late. Buton Thursday, the 30-year-old Sindhu showed that the fire in her belly is well and truly burning as she brought out her vintage best to cause the upset of the tournament by ousting the Chinese world No.2 21-19, 21-15 in 48 minutes.
The two-time Olympic medallist unshackled herself for the first time in months and was in absolutely smashing form. She raised her level, unleashing her power game to outplay one of the most dominant players this season.
