PV badminton star PV Sindhu exits the women’s singles event at the Asian Games after losing her quarter-final to China’s Chen Yu Fei. Multiple reports say Sindhu reflects that the loss came after playing three matches within an 18-hour period, which she says affected her physical readiness.
Both outlets cite Sindhu’s comments posted on X, where she describes returning to action early and playing again after a short turnaround. She says she is “hurting” and mentions that her schedule required her to be back at 3 a.m. and then playing again by 8:30 a.m. The articles also note that she had a demanding run across the previous day, including delays and court changes.
In terms of match context, the reports agree on the scoreline: Sindhu wins the first game 21-11 but loses the second 18-21 and the decider 10-21. The differing emphasis is that NDTV centers on her “angry rant” about the toll of the schedule, while the Free Press Journal links the criticism more explicitly to the Asian Games badminton schedule and provides additional timeline details about her day’s matches and recovery.
