PV Sindhu had started the game on a good note and had a lead in the first game. However, her misjudgements regarding her opponent's move helped Pornpawee to get an 11-6 lead in the game. She was then able to get a 20-16 lead after Sindhu had almost caught up with her.

In the second game, Pornpawee managed to get a 10-3 lead. "After I won the first game, in the second, she put more pressure on herself and maybe made more mistakes than me," Pornpawee said.

"It was a good start, after my three-point lead she then went ahead. I think it was her day, everything she was hitting was on the line, I just couldn't do anything about it. Overall, I should've controlled my unforced errors, maybe things could've been different then," Sindhu told the BWF website.

On Friday, PV Sindhu had defeated Japan's Akane Yamaguchi 16-21, 21-16, 21-19.

PV Sindhu had been defeated in the 2018 edition of the All England Open match too. She had opened up on how she needs to work and improve on her mistakes and take the positives. "I don’t have a tournament for another month so I have time to prepare and come back stronger,” PV Sindhu said.
