Wilting under pressure? Here are 7 major clashes that PV Sindhu has lost
PV Sindhu was dominated by Spain's Carolina Marin in the Badminton World Championships final on Sunday.
A gold medal at the Badminton World Championships continued to elude Indian ace shuttler PV Sindhu as she was dominated by Spain's Carolina Marin in Sunday's showpiece encounter.
Having lost the 2017 final to Nozomi Okuhara of Japan, who Sindhu defeated in the semi-final to book her spot against Marin, the current World No.3, who has twice finished second (2017 and 2018) twice finished third (2013 and 2014) at the World Championships was eyeing the chance to become the first Indian woman to win the competition.
However, the Spaniard, who also limited Sindhu to the silver medal at the Rio Olympics, stretched her advantage in their head-to-head record to 7-5 by recording a 21-19, 21-10 win to become the first woman to win the World Championship gold medal thrice.
This wasn't the first time Sindhu has lost a major final in her career. The 23-year-old has often been accused of wilting under pressure when it matters most. That argument doesn't lack merit, here are seven big finals that Sindhu has lost.
