Sindhu eyes sixth BWF World Championships medal
Former world champion Sindhu turned back the clock on Thursday as she defeated world number two Wang Zhi Yi of China to reach the quarter-finals of the World Championships. After her stunning win, Sindhu exuded confidence and said that she has nothing left to prove.
“There’s not much to prove,” Sindhu said. “I have already proved myself, but at the end of the day, last year and the beginning of this year were not great for me. There were lots of ups and downs, and injuries made it harder. I wanted to win, but things didn’t go the way I planned. It wasn’t just about the World Championships, but also the training I had put in. After those early-round exits, my coach and I sat down and discussed what was going wrong. We started focusing and working on those areas.”
Sindhu will secure a record-equaling sixth World Championships medal if she manages to beat Wardani on Friday. However, Wardani had beaten Sindhu earlier this year at the Sudirman Cup in straight games.
