It was heartbreak for defending champion PV Sindhu as the Indian ace lost in straight games to World No.1 Tai Tzu Ying in the women's singles quarterfinals at the BWF World Championships on Friday. Sindhu was looking to defend the title she had won in 2019, with the 2020 edition of the tournament not taking place due to COVID-19. However, the Indian was outgunned by her Chinese Taipei opponent, losing 17-21, 13-21 in just 42 minutes in the last eight clash.
