PV Sindhu plays three badminton matches within 24 hours at the Asian Games and criticises the event’s scheduling. According to multiple reports, she is active across Saturday and Sunday, with her third-round match finishing after midnight.
On Saturday afternoon, Sindhu plays her second-round match. Her third-round match runs into the early hours of Sunday, ending at around 1 a.m. Local time. She then returns later that same day for her quarterfinal against China’s Chen Yufei, which she loses. Times of India reports the quarterfinal is played Sunday afternoon, while NDTV says it begins around 1:30 p.m. and frames her comments as coming after an early exit from the tournament.
Both outlets agree on the match timing and the quarterfinal result, while differing mainly on how they characterise the context of her criticism and the exact start time of her quarterfinal.
