Mumbai: World champion PV Sindhu today said initial failures at the international stage were disappointing but defeating the then reigning Olympics champion Li Xuerui at the China Open in 2012 strengthened her resolve to succeed in the senior circuit. Sindhu had burst onto the scene when as a 16-year-old she had stunned London Olympics gold medallist Li in the quarterfinals of the China Masters. A year later, she claimed a maiden bronze medal at the World Championships. “In the beginning, I kept losing in first rounds, qualifying rounds. I think that turning point came in 2012 when I beat Li Xuerui,” Sindhu said. PTI
