Telugu teen sensation PV Sindhu has once again made Telugus proud by assuring herself of a second consecutive bronze medal at the ongoing World Championship. On flip side, it was curtains for star shuttler Saina Nehwal after she suffered a straight-game loss in the women’s singles quarter finals at Copenhagen on Friday.
 
The 19-year-old Sindhu, who clinched the bronze at the 2013 World Championship in China, produced another gritty performance to see off All-England champion Shixian Wang of China 19-21 21-19 21-15 at Ballerup Super Arena there. Earlier this month, Sindhu had won a bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

Sindhu, seeded 11th, showed once again why she is considered one of India’s finest shuttlers as she held her nerves in crucial moments during the energy-sapping battle to record her fourth win against Wang. Sindhu will now face the winner of the match between Chinese Taipei’s Tzu Ying Tai and and Spaniard Carolina Marin.
