Sindhu, Verma falter at final hurdle in Hong Kong Super Series

Kowloon (Hong Kong), Nov 27:
India’s hopes of winning twin titles in the Hong Kong Open Super Series were dashed today when Olympic silver-medallist P V Sindhu and national champion Sameer Verma lost their respective final clashes in contrasting fashion here.
Sindhu, aiming for her second successive Super Series title, lost 15-21 17-21 to Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying in a 41-minute women’s singles clash.
Verma, on the other hand, went down 14-21 21-10 11-21 to local favourite Ng Ka Long Angus in a contest which lasted 50 minutes.
It was sweet revenge for Tzu Ying, who had lost to Sindhu most recently in the Rio Olympic Games. She now leads 5-3 in the head-to-head record against the Indian.(PTI)
