PV Sindhu Exits Malaysia Open After Semi-Final Loss

January 10, 2026: Star Indian badminton player PV Sindhu crashed out of the ongoing Malaysia Open 2025 after losing in the semi-final. She faced China’s Wang Zhiyi, who is currently ranked world number two. Wang dominated the match and defeated Sindhu in straight games.
