Indian shuttler PV Sindhu again puts on a disappointing show as she gets knocked out in the opening round of the ongoing China Open $700,000 tournament. She lost 13-21, 21-18, 19-21 to Pai in a match that lasted for 74 minutes. However, in the final game, the Indian shuttler was trailing at the mid-break and could not reduce the deficit as she eventually lost the final game 19-21. Following her gold medal at the World Championships in Basel, Sindhu has now failed to reach finals in four straight tournaments. In the men’s singles category, HS Prannoy - who recently recovered from dengue - faltered in the opening round and lost 17-21, 18-21 to Denmark’s Rasmus Gemke.
