PV Sindhu, India’s star badminton player, suffered an early exit in the Indonesia Open 2024 after losing to Hsu Wen-chi from Chinese Taipei in the opening round at the Istora Gelora Bung Karno in Jakarta, Indonesia on June 5 (Wednesday). This unexpected loss marked Sindhu’s first-ever defeat to Wen-chi, with the final scoreline reading 15-21, 21-15, 14-21 in favour of the Taiwanese player.<\/p>\n

The match, which lasted for an hour and 10 minutes, saw the two-time Olympic medallist and former world champion succumb to Wen-chi’s prowess. It was a disappointing outcome for Sindhu, who had previously exited the Indonesia Open in the Second Round last year. This proves to be a significant setback to her preparations for Paris Olympics 2024, where she aims to secure her third Olympic medal.<\/p>\n

Sindhu staged a comeback after dropping a game, pushing the match to a deciding third game. However, Hsu maintained control in the final game, clinching victory. Hsu’s win sets up a second-round encounter with fourth seed Carolina Marin from Spain.<\/p>\n

PV Sindhu’s Recent Struggles Ahead Of Paris Olympics<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sindhu, a former World Champion, recently reached her first final in over a year at last month’s Malaysia Masters 2024, but finished as the runner-up in that title showdown against China’s Wang Zhi Yi. Notably, PV Sindhu also faced a setback in the Singapore Open 2024 before entering the Indonesia Open. The 28-year-old’s journey concluded in the pre-quarterfinals with a defeat against her rival Carolina Marin. PV Sindhu surrendered an 18-15 lead in the decider, ultimately falling to her familiar opponent Marin in a thrilling three-game encounter.<\/p>\n

Another disheartening result for Indian badminton ensued as in another match on June 5, the women’s doubles team of Rutaparna Panda and Swetaparna Panda suffered an opening-round defeat to South Korea’s Kim So-yeong and Kong Hee-yong, with a scoreline of 12-21, 9-21.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On June 4 (Tuesday), another shuttler bound for the Paris Olympics, HS Prannoy, suffered an early exit in the Indonesia Open 2024. He was defeated in straight games by compatriot Priyanshu Rajawat, with a scoreline of 17-21, 12-21.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
