In Badminton, ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal today crashed out of the ongoing Thailand Open after a hard-fought second round defeat against Busanan Ongbamrungphan of Thailand.

Saina lost 23-21, 14-21, 16-21 in a match that lasted for 68 minutes to bow out of the Super 1000 tournament.

With Saina’s loss, India’s challenge in the women’s singles event has come to an end at the tournament. Sixth-seeded PV Sindhu had lost her opening round match to world No.18 Mia Blichfeldt on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, in men’s singles, Kidambi Srikanth also pulled out of the tournament before the start of his second-round match due to a calf muscle strain.

In the Men's doubles event , the Indian pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty also crashed out today after suffering a straight-games defeat in their second-round contest.

Satwik-Chirag suffered a 19-21, 17-21 defeat against the Indonesian duo of Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan.
