Thailand Open Super 1000: Task cut out for Indian hopefuls as Asian tourney enters second leg

Firstpost  

Bangkok: Indian shuttlers, including Olympic hopefuls PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal, will hope to give a better account of themselves at Toyota Thailand Open Super 1000 tournament, starting here on Tuesday, after a lacklustre show last week. If Olympic silver medallist Sindhu struggled to keep pace with her first-round opponent Denmark’s Mia Blichfeldt, London Games bronze winner Saina simply ran out of steam against Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan in the second round. Among others, world no 13 B Sai Praneeth looked a mismatch against Thailand’s Kantaphon Wangcharoen, while former world no 1 Srikanth and 2014 Commonwealth Games champion Parupalli Kashyap were either forced to withdraw or retire after suffering calf muscle pulls. World champion Sindhu, a medal contender at Tokyo Games, has been training in London for the last two months and she will be itching to go deep in the draw when she opens against world no 12 Busanan, who had outlasted Saina last week.
