Sindhu loses in final

New Delhi, Aug 05: Here is the sad news for the Indian people as the Indian women's singles star P.V. Sindhu lost in her second consecutive final of the Badminton World Championships here on Sunday.

Her hopes of winning her first World Championships gold medal faced a familiar roadblock, which goes by the name of Carolina Marin.

The Spaniard absolutely dominated over her opponent in the second game, to win her third World Championships gold.

Sindhu started off strongly, leading by 14-11 in the first game at one stage. But a lapse in concentration saw her losing five points on the trot, and eventually giving away five points in the trot.

From there on, the match completely shifted momentum, as Marin just pounced on every opportunity to push for a win.

Sindhu lost 21-19, 21-10 in the final and had to settle for a silver medal for the second straight time in World Championships.
