PV Sindhu stunned World No. 2 Wang Zhi Yi with a dominant 21-17, 21-15 victory at the BWF World Championships in Paris on August 28, marking her first quarterfinal appearance since 2019. The 30-year-old Indian shuttler rediscovered her vintage form, silencing critics after a string of early exits. Sindhu’s aggressive play left Wang unsettled throughout the 48-minute match. She will next face Indonesia’s ninth seed Putri Kusuma Wardani. Earlier, India’s mixed doubles pair Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto pulled off a major upset, defeating Hong Kong’s fifth seeds Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet to also reach the quarterfinals.
