The title drought that has been going on for the last two years for India's veteran shuttler PV Sindhu has extended further. She lost to world number seven Wang Ziyi of China in the final of the Malaysia Masters. Two-time Olympic medalist Sindhu lost 21-16, 5-21, 16-21 after taking an 11-3 lead in the deciding game of the 79-minute title match that lasted three games. Sindhu, ranked 15th in the world rankings, last won the tournament at the Singapore Open in March 2022. Last year she was the runner-up at the Madrid Masters. Sindhu has played a tour final for the first time in more than a year. It is worth noting that Sindhu won her last title by defeating Wang in Singapore. Sindhu, who has been struggling with fitness due to a knee injury for some time, has been unable to defeat long-time star players like Carolina Marin, Tai Ying, Chan Yu Fei and Akane Yamaguchi. Sindhu will now participate in the Singapore Open starting on Tuesday and will begin her preparations for the Paris Olympics this year.
