Star Indian shuttler PV Sindhu suffered an inexplicable meltdown, bowing out of the All England Championships after a three-game loss to Korea’s Kim Ga Eun in the women’s singles opening round on Wednesday.

Two-time Olympic medallist Sindhu, returning after recovering from a hamstring injury, squandered an opening-game advantage to lose 21-19, 13-21, 13-21 to World No. 21 Kim in a little over an hour at Arena Birmingham.
