India's PV Sindhu's campaign at the Singapore Open Super 750 badminton tournament came to an end in the quarterfinals after a loss to world No. 1 An Se Young.
The two-time Olympic medallist showed flashes of her attacking best but was unable to trouble An for sustained periods, ultimately going down 21-17 21-14.
This loss extended Sindhu's winless run against the reigning Olympic champion to nine matches, with the Indian managing to take a game off An only once at the 2023 Badminton Asia Championships.
An's superior control, movement, and ability to win crucial points were key factors in her victory, as she maintained her remarkable dominance on the world circuit.
Sindhu's proactive approach helped her stay in contention, but An's command at the net and ability to absorb pressure allowed her to regain control and secure the win.
