Speaking after winning the bronze medal match against He Bing Jao, Badminton World Federation (BWF) quoted Sindhu as saying, "It makes me feel really happy because I`ve worked hard for so many years. I had a lot of emotions going through me -- should I be happy that I won bronze or sad that I lost the opportunity to play in the final? But overall, I had to close off my emotions for this one match and give it my best, my all and think about the emotions. I`m really happy and I think I`ve done really well. It`s a proud moment getting a medal for my country." 


Sindhu also said that the focus will now move to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
