Three matches in 24 hours! PV Sindhu criticises badminton schedule at Asian Games

Indian badminton player PV Sindhu has publicly criticized the scheduling of matches at the Asian Games after being required to play three matches within a 24-hour period.

Sindhu played twice on Saturday, with her demanding third-round fixture concluding after midnight. Despite the short turnaround, she returned to the court on Sunday afternoon to face China's Chen Yufei in the quarterfinals.

Sindhu ultimately lost the quarterfinal match against Chen Yufei. The grueling timetable highlights ongoing concerns among athletes regarding tournament fixture management and player welfare at major multi-sport events.
