Malaysia Open 2019: PV Sindhu's capitulation against unseeded Sung Ji-hyun leaves Kidambi Srikanth as sole remaining Indian

Firstpost  

Sindhu opened quite brightly, and led all the way until 14-12 in the opening game, but then collapsed after a string of unforced errors, conceding the crucial 20th point after a brief fightback to 18-19 The spectre of disappointment continued to hover around the Indian camp on Thursday, the third day of the Malaysia Open badminton championships, as fifth-seeded Pusarla V Sindhu surrendered with barely a whimper to her unseeded nemesis, South Korea’s Sung Ji-hyun, leaving Kidambi Srikanth the sole Indian survivor in the $700,000 prize money World Tour competition. The Indian’s only success against the Korean in the past year was at the World Championships in Nanjing, when she was in great form, and went all the way to the final before faltering against the reigning Olympic gold medallist and two-time former world champion, Carolina Marin of Spain. The eclipse, on Wednesday, of eighth-seeded Saina Nehwal at the hands of the former World junior runner-up, Pornpawee Chochuwong of Thailand – due mainly to the fact that the 29-year-old Indian did not seem fully recovered from the severe bout of gastroenteritis that had ruined her campaign at last month’s All England – meant that the much-vaunted Indian challenge in the women’s singles came to an end. The heart-breaking result that Reddy and Ashwini Ponnappa had obtained in their women’s doubles first round – a 20-22, 21-17, 20-22 loss to South Koreans Baek Ha Na and Kim Hye Rin, after holding four match-points at 20-16 – could be viewed in the perspective of the Koreans’ resounding 21-18, 22-20 triumph on Thursday against the second-seeded Japanese duo of Ayaka Takahashi and Misaki Matsutomo.
