Bangkok (TIP): Star India shuttler Saina Nehwal was knocked out of the Yonex Thailand Open Super 1000 after losing the women’s singles second round to Busanan Ongbamrungphan here on Thursday, January 14. In a battle of attrition, Saina managed to grab the opening game but ran out of steam in the end, losing 23-21 14-21 16-21 in a match that clocked 68 minutes. It was Saina’s fourth straight loss to the Thai, who ranks 12 in the world. In the men’s singles, former world No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth was forced to give a walkover to his 8th seeded Malaysian opponent Lee Zii Jia after pulling up his right calf muscle. Earlier in the day, Indian men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty bowed out of the competition after suffering a 19-21 17-21 defeat against second seeded Indonesian combination of Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan. Saina and Busanan engaged in some long rallies but it was the Thai shuttler who had the last laugh as she dished out some delectable drops and also stood out with better placement of shots.
