India’s badminton ace P. V. Sindhu on Thursday came past World No. 2 Zhi Yi Wang of China 21-19, 21-15 to advance to the quarterfinals of the BWF World Championships in Paris.
With this Sindhu continued her perfect run in the tournament. She has not dropped a single game in her three matches so far. The two-time Olympic medallist is now just one win away from securing her sixth World Championships medal.
Sindhu will now take on World No. 9 Putri Kusuma Wardani of Indonesia in the last eight. Sindhu has faced her four times and won twice.
The 23-year-old Wardani has been in good form this year, having won 27 matches and lost only 12 games. Sindhu, on the other hand, has lost 12 games in 2025 and won just nine.
Wardani’s best performances this year have been third-place finishes at the Thailand Masters and Swiss Open.
