PV Sindhu Vs Wardani Highlights, BWF World Championships Quaterfinals: Indian Star Faces Heartbreak With 2-1 Loss

Hello and Welcome to our live coverage of PV Sindhu Vs Putri Kusuma Wardani, BWF World Championships Quaterfinals. The contest is set to start around 4:50 PM IST.

Wardhani takes an early lead over Sindhu. The Indian star ended up making few schoolboy errors, resulting in an early lead for Wardani.

Here she makes the comeback. It was a long rally for the 6th point, however, it was another soft error from Wardani. Scores level.

No, that's not looking good for the Indian star. Wardani is slowly building up a big lead. Sindhu needs to bring her A-game back.

Wardani's smashes are getting more brutal now. She also has a great backing from the crowd in the arena. Seems like Sindhu is losing this game.

Wardani is increasing her lead more and more now. A 9-point lead and it's looling one-sided now.

Wardani takes an early lead with 14-21 in the first game. And PV Sindhu loses her first game of the tournament. But let's not count Sindhu out of the contest, she can make a comeback in the Game 2.

Sindhu starts the second game with a great confidence. She also looks pumped, celebrating each point aggressively.

We said it already, here she makes a tremendous comeback. A solid 7-point lead already and she is moving towards equalling the score.

Sindhu maintains her 7-point lead. And what's going good for Sindhu is this side of the court is working pretty well for her, and if she forces a decider, it's here that the finale will be played.

Safe to say that Sindhu has already won this round pretty convincingly. She can't lose her 10-point lead from here. On the other hand, Wardani seems to have losing her focus now and we move to the decider, maybe!

It's often a matter of confidence and movement with Sindhu, and both are looking fantastic. Wardani tried to make a late comeback but it was too late for her as the lead was humoungous. Here we are!!!!!! The Decider!

Third and decider round starts with a neck-to-neck competition with both players earning three points each.

A 50-shot rally, could you believe it? And guess who ends up winning that, yest it's Sindhu. And she takes and early 2-point lead. You can't miss this contest.

Well, Wardani diminishes the early lead by Sindhu and the score are level now. Wardani seems to back in the rhythm and she doesn't want to make silly mistakes anymore.

Wardani is all over Sindhu now. A four-point lead at this point of the game can be a setback for the Indian star. Sindhu needs to pull off a miracle now.

Sindhu earns some crucial points, but Wardani maintains the lead and needs just two points to beat the former champion.

That was unexpected, beating the world no. 2 and losing to the world no. 5 after that. Sindhu's dream for a sixth medal ends now. She looks disappointed. And appreciates her opponent at the net. 

A great moment for Wardani, though.
