The Hyderabi shuttler, who was contesting her first final of 2019, wasn’t at her best while countering Yamaguchi’s tactics and made a number of basic errors. Sindhu, who is yet to win a title this year, admitted that it was her mistakes that cost her the gold medal.
“She played well of course and there were long rallies but then I made a few mistakes. In the first set, I was leading by two to three points and I could have continued that but I made a few mistakes and gave her the lead and then she finished off the first game. If I would have won the first game may be it would have been a bit different. Second game I gave her a huge lead and then I had to cover and come back but she finished it off,” said Sindhu after the match.
