Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu started the game with a strong lead of 5-2. However, she couldn’t maintain her advantage, allowing Wang Zhi Yi to make a comeback and secure the first game. In the decisive game, PV Sindhu initially took the lead at 4-3, but Wang Zhi Yi then turned the tide with six consecutive points. From that point onwards, PV Sindhu struggled to catch up, and the fifth-seeded Chinese player ultimately closed out the match after one hour and three minutes.
Wang Zhi Yi had previously defeated PV Sindhu’s fellow Indian player, Aakarshi Kashyap, in the pre-quarterfinals. This marked PV Sindhu’s fourth appearance in the semi-finals this season, and she was the sole Indian representative remaining in the Arctic Open badminton tournament, as Kidambi Srikanth had been eliminated in the round of 16. The outcomes achieved during the Arctic Open 2023, classified as a BWF Super 500 tournament, will contribute to the qualification rankings for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
