Double Olympic medalist PV Sindhu faced a tough defeat against China's Han Yue in the Badminton Asia Championships pre-quarterfinals. Despite a valiant effort, Sindhu lost 18-21 21-13 17-21 in a match lasting over an hour. Meanwhile, India's women's doubles pair, Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa, also exited the tournament after losing to Japan's Nami Matsuyama and Chiharu Shida. Despite a strong start by Sindhu in the first game, Yue's resilience and control turned the tide. Sindhu fought back in the second game but couldn't maintain the momentum, resulting in her eventual defeat.
