KUALA LUMPUR: Ace Indian shuttlers Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth's woeful run continued as they suffered first-round exits from the season-opening Malaysia Open on Tuesday.
London Olympics medallist Saina, who endured a tough 2022 battling multiple injuries and a lack of form, went down 12-21 21-17 12-21 to Han Yue of China in the $1,250,000 Super 1000 tournament.
