Unnati Hooda exits China Masters; Hariharan-Arjun retire in opening matches
At the China Masters Super 750 badminton tournament in Shenzhen, India's Unnati Hooda was defeated in the women's singles first round by South Korea's world No. 12 Kim Ga Eun in straight games. The men's doubles pair Hariharan Amsakarunan and M R Arjun retired early in their opening match against China's Chen Bo Yang and Liu Yi, reportedly due to fitness issues. The tournament continues with other Indian players, including Lakshya Sen and Kidambi Srikanth, competing in subsequent rounds.
