Day 12 of Asian Games 2023 began on a sad note for India as one of the medal contenders PV Sindhu had a heartbreak.
2-time Olympic champion returned home without a singles medal at Asian Games 2023 as she bowed out after losing 16-21, 12-21 to He Bingjiao in the quarterfinals.
With that, Indian women's singles challenge at Asiad 2023 came to an end.
Before this match, Sindhu had beaten He Bingjiao in her last 4 out of 5 matches against the Chinese.
However, she looked far from her best on Thursday, like she has for most part of 2023, and lost in straight games.
