"Don't be disheartened @Pvsindhu1 India is proud of your achievements. You can still come back with a medal for India. We will cheer for you in the bronze medal match. #Cheer4India," Rijiju tweeted.
The BAI President said Sindhu is a star and she shall always be one.
"PV Sindhu - we continue to admire your tenacity and brilliance. You are a star, and shall always be. Well fought @Pvsindhu1. You remain our pride," Himanta Biswa tweeted.
Tzu-Ying defeated Sindhu 21-18, 21-12 in the semifinals.
On Friday, Sindhu had stormed into the semi-finals of the women's singles event after defeating Japan's number four seed Akane Yamaguchi in the quarterfinals. (ANI)
