Rio Olympic Games 2016 silver medallist Sindhu went down 15-21, 17-21 against World No.6 Sun at the Hamdan Sports Complex.<\/p>\n
This loss has jeopardised Sindhu’s chances of qualification to the semi-finals. The 22-year-old Indian had beaten Akane Yamaguchi of Japan in the opener and now, after this loss, she faces a huge task of overcoming reigning world and Olympic champion Carolina Marin of Spain.<\/p>\n
She must win the third game against the ruthless Spaniard, the opponent who defeated her in the Rio Games title showdown.<\/p>\n
In the game against Sun, Sindhu lacked sharpness and that reflected in her poor challenges to the Chinese’s delectable drop shots and half smashes.<\/p>\n
Sindhu trailed from the beginning and never managed to equalise. At the beginning, she was trailing 3-7 and the best she managed to bridge the gap was at 8-10.<\/p>\n
But Sun ran away with four straight points to stand at 14-8 before dropping a point and then again notching six points to be at 20-9.<\/p>\n
Sindhu tried to delay the inevitable as she registered six straight points. But it was only a matter of point for Sun and the Chinese sealed the game at 21-15.<\/p>\n
In the second though, Sindhu improved her game and fought for each point against Sun. But the Chinese was clearly the better player. She took a 5-2 lead but Sindhu equalised at five-point mark.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, Sun led and Sindhu was always trailing. The Indian trailed until the 15-point mark where she equalised but Sun was determined to finish the match in the second game. Sindhu gave fight for only two more points and conceded the game 17-21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
