Chetan, Saina crash out

New Delhi: Indian ace badminton players — Chetan Anand and Saina Nehwal — crashed out of the China Open Super Series after losing their first round matches in the men’s and women’s singles respectively in Guangzhou on Wednesday.

Saina gave a tough fight to fifth seed Lin Zhu of China before going down 6-21, 21-12, 19-21.

Chetan was nowhere near his best as Malaysia’s Choong Hann Wong took just 26 minutes to send the Indian packing 21-10, 21-14.

Arvind Bhat moved into the second round of the men’s singles defeating Wee Chung Pei of Malaysia 21-9, 21-13.

There was some consolation for Saina as she and her Canadian partner Anna Rice sailed into the doubles second round after defeating Ying Long and Ka Lei Mak of Macau 21-15, 21-17. — PTI
