Hong Kong Super Series News
This is Sindhu's second loss in the four finals that she reached this season. She had lost to Japan's Nozomi Okuhara at the World Championship final, while clinched two titles at India and Korea this year.
Saina Nehwal entered the second round but Parupalli Kashyap and Sourabh Verma failed to cross the opening hurdle at the USD 400,000 Hong Kong Super Series, here on Wednesday.
Kashyap will face Chinese Taipei's Kan Chao Yu in the qualifier, while Sourabh Verma will fight it out with Indonesia's Tommy Sugiarto.
The 25-year-old had pulled out of the China Open Super Series Premier after his doctor advised him a week's rest following a muscle strain.
The Indian sensation achieved the career-best ranking of 2 on November 3, after a fantastic run of form this year, in which has won four Super Series titles in five finals.
Saina, on a comeback trail, was the first to take the field and she recorded a hard-fought 12-21 21-19 21-17 win over Thailand's Porntip Buranaprasertsuk
