PV Sindhu Handed Defeat in Arctic Open
This comes as a big blow to Sindhu, who roped in two new coaches — Anup Sridhar and South Korean former World No. 1 Lee Hyun Il. Right from the start of the match, things didn’t go as planned for the Hyderabadi, who returned without a medal in Paris Olympics.
In the first game, Li first raced to an 11-4 lead and then closed the game at 21-16. The second game was even more convincing by the Canadian shuttler, as she gave no room to Sindhu, to make a comeback.
