Two-time Olympic medallist and seventh seed PV Sindhu’s poor run continued as she crashed out in the opening round of the women’s singles event, losing 17-21, 19-21 against lower ranked Julie Jakobsen of Denmark.
Sindhu, who started the year on a solid note by making it to the quarter-finals of the Indian Open, has now bowed out in the opening round of the last three competitions, Indonesia Masters, All England Open and now the Swiss Open.
