    All England Open: Nehwal knocked out, Sindhu and Srikanth progresses

    World number 11 Saina Nehwal bowed out of the All England Open. The Indian ace shuttler lost to defending champion and world number 1 Tai Tzu-ying. Saina lost the match 14-21, 18-21 in straight games. There was cheer for men's rising star Kidambi Srikanth, who sealed a thrilling decider against Brice Leverdez 7-21, 21-14, 22-20. Sindhu defeated Chochuwong to move to the 2nd round.

    Saina's jinx against Tai continues
