PV Sindhu bowed out from the women's singles category in the semi-final of the ongoing Canada Open at the Markin-MacPhail Centre in Calgary, on Saturday.

The two-time Olympic medalist has failed to go past the second round in her last three BWF World Tour events outings and looked in good nick until she faced Japan's Akane Yamaguchi. 

The Indian star's best performance in the ongoing season was reaching the final of the Madrid Masters 2023. 

TSN takes a look at how Sindhu's journey unfolded in the Canada Open 2023.

In the quarterfinals, she faced Gao Fang Jie of the Republic of China and beat her in straight games 21-13, 21-7. 

However, in the last four, she lost 21-14, 21-15, in straight games to Yamaguchi which ended her journey in the tournament.
