SINDHU WINNSSSS!

There it is, a much needed win for PV Sindhu and she lets out a loud roar. It has been long since we have seen her this pumped up. She makes quick work of Wardani Putri to advance to the Quarterfinals of Madrid Spain Masters. Sindhu wins 21-14, 21-16.

Sindhu inching towards a victory

Sindhu can sense a win here. She is slowly and steadily moving towards it. Leads 16-13 in the second game.

Sindhu with the lead

PV Sindhu opens up a slender 11-9 lead at the mid-game break. Can she wrap this up in straight games?

A close start to the second game

A very tight start to the second game with Wardani matching Sindhu shot for shot. The players are level at 6-6 for now.

Sindhu takes Game 1

Unlike the last meeting between the two where Sindhu struggled, the Indian seems to be in a much better place today. She is moving well around the court and has barely been troubled by Wardani. Sindhu takes the first game 21-14 in just 15 minutes.

SINDHU LEADS!

A good start this for PV Sindhu as she takes a healthy 11-7 lead at the first mid-game break.

UP NEXT: PV Sindhu v/s Putri Wardani

PV Sindhu will face Putri Wardani in court number 1 up next. The two had met at the Swiss Open 2023 last week as well with the double Olympic medallist from suffering a shock loss.

Can the Indian have her revenge today?
