Nozomi Okuhara Withdraws from BWF World Championships Quarterfinal Due to Surgery Pain
Japanese shuttler Nozomi Okuhara withdrew from her BWF World Championships quarterfinal against Pornpawee Chochuwong due to pain from surgery she underwent last month. Despite aiming to compete after a brief recovery, the 31-year-old was unable to continue following a demanding previous match. Okuhara's withdrawal secured Chochuwong a semifinal spot and her first World Championships medal. Okuhara, a former world champion with two World Championship medals, had earlier reached the Australian Open semifinals and won the Orleans Masters this season.
