Sameer Verma stages incredible comeback at Thailand Open
Hindustan TimesSameer Verma comes across as a very shy and quiet person. File image of Indian badminton player Sameer Verma Tuesday was no different as the Pullela Gopichand protégé staged possibly the most incredible comeback of his career, saving as many as seven match points to outsmart Lee Zii Jia 18-21, 27-25, 21-19 in a marathon first round that lasted an hour and 14 minutes on the opening day of the $1 million Toyota Thailand Open. Kashyap pulled out due to a calf muscle strain in his right leg which had also forced him to withdraw from last week’s Yonex Thailand Open first round too. It was also a positive day for reigning world champion PV Sindhu who overcame local player Busanan Ongbamrungphan—who had beaten Saina Nehwal in the second round last week—21-17, 21-13 in 43 minutes. “After the first tournament, I’m pleased with this win,” said Srikanth, who had pulled out last week due to a calf muscle strain.
