Considering her situation on Tuesday -- she’d thrown up all night and was barely able to get on court the next day – Mia Blichfeldt had accomplished something special at the YONEX-SUNRISE India Open 2025 despite exiting the tournament in the second round. She’d not only won her opening match but pushed Wang Zhi Yi to three games today, refusing to go down without a fight.
It was an hour-long battle, with Blichfeldt falling in a 13-21 21-16 21-8 loss to the world No.2, who has been in the form of her life lately.
“That night was terrible. The only sleep I got was in the morning because I kept throwing up all night. I’m really tired now and my body is really dead,” said Blichfeldt, who said she’d picked up a stomach infection on Tuesday.
